Scriplogic Active Administrator

[Guest anthonymharrington@gmail.com]

Our WAN consists of 10 geographically dispersed sites. On each site

there are 2 domain controllers. Our sites are connected by means of an

MPLS network.

 

One of the sites serves as the central hub, where all services are

hosted.

 

We are using an application called Active Administrator by a company

called Scriptlogic to centrally record the security logs of all domain

controllers on all sites. This application is hosted on a server in

our central hub site. The database backend is hosted on another server

on the same site. There is an Active Administrator service running on

each domain controller. This service uploads details of the security

log on each domain controller to the Active Administrator application

server.

 

We have noticed however that this service periodically causes

congestion on our MPLS network, as all domain controllers are

uploading security log details to the one location.

 

My question is, does anyone else here use Active Administrator? If so,

have you run into the problems we are experiencing and were you able

to resolve them?

 

I have not gone into detail about application versions, events being

logged, etc., as I would first like to find out if anyone has had a

similar experience.

 

Thanks,

A
