ADTest is an Active Directory load-generation tool. It allows you to simulate client transactions on the host server. By varying client load, you can relate the transaction rate to resource utilization on the server and get some idea about the requirements for your environment. Because ADTest can perform generic Active Directory requests, it can also create an organizational unit structure inside Active Directory. You can add many organizational units and user objects in those ADTest-created organizational units. You can also add attributes to the user objects. Once you have created the Active Directory structure you require, you can use ADTest to perform various Active Directory requests, including Modify and Search. Several pre-built tests have been written to reproduce some typical activities you might want to evaluate. (download)
Hello,
According to some papers (e.g HP) ADTEst could be installed and used on a Windows 2008 server (MS states on 2000 and 2003). I have prepared severall Windows 2008 Enterise servers according MS document ‘Active Directory Performance Testing Tool’, however I receive bind failures.
Do you know, are aware of, any tests performed on W2k8 bixes?
