ActiveXperts Network Monitor is an advanced and easy tool for monitoring LAN and WAN networks, network servers, workstations and TCP/IP devices. It has a large set of built-in checks, and you can add new checks by writing scripts. You can use VBScript (Windows) or RSH (UNIX) for it. VBScript checks can use WMI and ADSI.
Use the samples below to get used to various ADSI classes, and use these classes in your own, custom ActiveXperts Network Monitor check. Each sample below can also be copied to a new file and then run from the command prompt (CSCRIPT.EXE <file>.vbs).
Click on one of the following category to view VBScript samples on how to use ADSI classes.
Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI) enable system administrators and developers of scripts or applications to easily query for and manipulate directory service objects.
ADSI present a single set of directory service interfaces for managing network resources from different directory services. Administrators and developers can use ADSI to manage the resources in a directory service, regardless of which network environment contains the resource.
Scripts written to ADSI will work with any directory service that offers an ADSI provider. For example, with ADSI, applications can access LDAP, NDS, the Active Directory service, and other directories with ADSI interfaces as long as the appropriate service providers are available.
The standard ADSI providers are found within multiple namespaces - typically directory services for various network operating systems. Providers enable communication between the server or client. ADSI includes providers for:
ActiveXperts Network Monitor provides the ability to build monitor check routines based on ADSI. ActiveXperts provides some useful ADSI scripts.
You can use these samples as a base for new check routines you can write yourself.
