Microsoft Technology and products are used by all organisations. However, several components are at work in a Technology. Microsoft Active Directory, for example, is made up of several components such as Domain Controllers, Active Directory Sites, Users, Groups, and other objects. Something may go wrong in your environment at times. DynamicPacks Technologies has developed automated assessment tools to assist you in performing an advanced health and risk assessment of your infrastructure and generating an actionable report.
Our mission for Health and risk assessment of Active Directory, Microsoft 365, Azure and Azure Virtual Desktop is to provide a comprehensive evaluation of our clients’ environment and identify potential issues, risks, and opportunities for improvement.
To ensure the security of an Active Directory environment, organizations often employ various tests and best practices, including those outlined by MITRE, ANSSI, CIS and NIST organizations.
SmartProfiler ships Issues Fixer. You can fix low, high and medium issues with a mouse click and follow the on-screen steps to resolve an issue. The Issues Fixer can also be used to export the PowerShell script with affected objects to fix the issues.
In addition to performing security and health assessment, SmartProfiler also provides vendor links for each test so you can learn more about each test’s importance and the reasons you should check your environments against vendor recommendations.
Since SmartProfiler generates its reports in Word Format, they can be customised. Additionally, you can change an issue’s severity or the SmartProfiler’s impact recommendations and impacts.
SmartProfiler uses three-steps approach methodology which has been designed based on our experience working with hundreds of AVD, Active Directory, Microsoft 365, and Azure environments.
In an IT environment we have two main stakeholders; IT Management Team who is responsible for allocating budget and making decisions. IT Operations Team who is responsible for maintaining the IT environment and ensuring all business services are up and running.
The goal is to address Management needs by ensuring the scope for environment is known. The scope can be considered as a set of Active directory domains/host pools/office subscriptions. There need to be a discovery phase that can discover current environment and present a summary of discovered objects.
You are ready to execute Assessment for scoped Active Directory domains/host pools or Microsoft 365/Azure subscriptions and then generate reports.
SmartProfiler is a single application providing multiple solutions such as Active Directory Assessment, M365 CIS Assessment, Azure AVD Assessment, Entra ID Assessment, and FSLogix Assessment.
The most comprehensive Active Directory Assessment to uncover Security Risks and Health Issues in Active Directory.
The most comprehensive Microsoft 365 Assessment to uncover Microsoft 365 related issues in your Subscription. Supports
A Multi-AVD Tenant Assessment Solution to improve performance of your Session Hosts. Find configuration inconsistencies, missing
Microsoft FSLogix Assessment Solution to improve performance of your Session Hosts and reduce logon time.
We have specialised knowledge and expertise in many different facets of technology as a group of Microsoft professionals, especially those that pertain to Microsoft products and services. We can assist you if you need help fixing problems found by the SmartProfiler Tools in your environment. You can also use Built-in Fixer available with SmartProfiler.
There are four summary panels available in SmartProfiler; Bird’s EYE View, Category-Wise, Short Summary and Severity-Wise. You can check all views in console before generating report.
Someone is "securing" something, and someone else is "breaking" something. Attackers just need to employ the 30–35 approaches listed in order to get access to Active Directory, but security personnel must employ all available technological tools in order to defend the environment from attackers. When we say, "all technical means," we mean looking at Active Directory from the standpoints of attackers and AD upkeep.
Learn AboutThe fact that an attacker would have investigated every method of breaking into Active Directory despite the fact that not all Active Directory administrators are aware of them makes it necessary to conduct a "complete" security assessment for Active Directory.
Advanced assessment parameters for an Active Directory security assessment includes:
1. Investigating further based on the assessment findings.
2. Checking all GPO Settings recommended by CIS and NIST for domain Controllers.
3. Ensure the necessary structure is defined for GPO and all recommended GPO settings are implemented.
4. Administration structure is defined for Organizational Units and to manage AD & domain joined devices.
5. Operational procedures are in place.
While the Assessment Categories assist in selecting the appropriate Active Directory Assessment tool, the Methodology provides an overall perspective for both the IT Management Team and IT Operations Team. The SmartProfiler adopts a methodology that caters to the needs of both teams. The methodology should include the following:

How many times have you assessed an Active Directory environment for a client and seen users with unrestricted delegation, trusted for delegation, DES-Encryption enabled, and pre-authentication Kerberos disabled? So, a small business running Active Directory with two to five domain controllers should to be able to manage their AD infrastructure easily without the need for utilising the aforementioned settings for users. Unrestricted delegation, DES-Encryption for users, and deactivating pre-authentication Kerberos for users are not actually required. You would still need to complete the tests associated to users as part of the standard checklist included in the Assessment tool to make sure everything is in order for user objects.

Checks every component of Active Directory from Objects to Replication configuration and M365 Settings.
Active Directory misconfiguration and health problems cannot always be found using every tool or product. We are the first company to develop a tool that scans your Active Directory environment for security problems as well as health and configuration problems.
The time required for Active Directory troubleshooting can be greatly decreased by SmartProfiler. For instance, if one of your Active Directory components isn’t functioning, SmartProfiler has the ability to examine all of the object’s attributes and then offer advice on how to resolve the problem.
If you’re really looking for an Active Directory security assessment tool, download SmartProfiler and perform an assessment. This will assist you in identifying security, health, and configuration problems.
The health and misconfiguration assessment feature of SmartProfiler can be very useful in demonstrating that your environment does not use Microsoft’s suggested settings.
The best feature of SmartProfiler is that it can perform the assessment without a Global Admin account and without needing the registration of an Azure AD application. Because it only required a Global Reader Account, we were able to use the tool effectively for our clients and clients could allow us to conduct the assessment!
SmartProfiler's advanced assessment parameters really gives you insights about your Active Directory environment and make sure every risk is mitigated.
Since 2019, SmartProfiler has undergone substantial progress. Several new features have been added to SmartProfiler.
Many Active Directory vendors claim that their products can do a thorough technical Active Directory
