Just beginning to try to review System Center 2012. We are running a Server 2008 R2 & Win 7 (64 bit) network and we are wanting to find a way to monitor AD and see what issues our Users will have in relation to Group Policies, Profiles, Mapped Drives, etc. We want to be proactive to seeing issues before the end users notice them. Can anyone give 0me a link or further information on what System Center 2012 can & will monitor in Active Directory? Thanks !! Les
