Automating Active Directory Health Checks
summary
A PowerShell module called psad-health sits on GitHub and the PowerShell Gallery and delivers about 12 scripts that run as scheduled tasks or jobs, check DC services, disk and backup timestamps, internal and external time sync (with an auto-resync attempt), SysVol and AD object replication via synthetic files and disabled computer objects, and write detailed event-log entries. It requires elevated rights (near domain‑admin) to configure, runs in production (five Azure DevOps builds reported), cleans up test artifacts, and sends email/Slack alerts.
