MORE INFORMATION

DSAccess has its own set of Performance Monitor (System Monitor) counters to help monitor DSAccess' behavior. In addition to the specific DSAccess counters, there are other counters that you can use in conjunction with the DSAccess counters to better understand the performance of this component.

The counters that are described in the following table can be found under the Windows NT Directory Service (NTDS) performance object in Performance Monitor.
