Module 11: Windows 2000 Network Services Management

Module Strategy
Use the following strategy to present this module.


Defining Management Strategies
A successful management plan for network services includes strategies that
permit detection of, and response to, changes in the network services. The
management strategies define policies, procedures, and processes that
permit the network administrator to respond to, verify, and anticipate
variations in the service.
In this section:
• Explain that the highest priority in a management plan must be to detect

and respond to critical events such as service or network failures. The
need to monitor design compliance and anticipate the need for design
changes is a lower priority. Point out that strategies for responses to
service variations can be reactive, proactive, manual, or automatic.
• Emphasize that management strategies must define processes to respond
to the service variations automatically, or provide notification to
operations staff for manual responses.
• Point out that verifying compliance with the design specifications
requires both the monitoring and testing of the services.
• Emphasize that requirements for the services infrastructure will change
over time as needs for resources change. Operations staff can use
collected information about the consumption of resources to anticipate
the need for changes to the network design.
• Point out that the management plan must include processes to provide
feedback and control of the network services infrastructure. The
processes must be designed to obtain the current status of the services,
verify service compliance, and predict trends.



Identifying Management Processes
The management plan must include processes to provide feedback and
control of the network services infrastructure. The processes must be
designed to obtain the current status of the services, verify compliance of
the service operation, and respond to service variations. Emphasize that any
plan to monitor and respond to service variations is often part of a larger
management system, such as Microsoft Systems Management Server, or
third-party management solutions.




Generating Information on the Status of the Services
Emphasize that obtaining the operational status of a service requires
information about individual service providers and network conditions, and
verification that client requests receive appropriate responses.
In this section:
• Emphasize that the collection of status information for analysis is critical
to the process of monitoring the individual services and the overall
network.
• Point out that command-line network tools and utilities can be used to
test and analyze service and network operation and variation. Explain
that these tools and utilities can be used interactively, or their output
stored in files for later analysis.


Module 11: Windows 2000 Network Services Management

v

• Explain that System Monitor, which is found within the Performance
console allows you to obtain real-time data and collect logs.
• Make sure students understand the illustration, scenario description, and
directions for the Discussion. Direct them to read through the scenario
and answer the questions. Be prepared to clarify if necessary. Lead a
class discussion on the students’ responses.
• Emphasize that Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) can be
used to both derive the status of hosts and control hosts in a
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) network.
Point out that in a Windows 2000 network, SNMP is an optional
component. Emphasize that SNMP may be required to support services

if the infrastructure has devices that are already managed and configured
by using SNMP.
• Emphasize that Event logs are useful to calculate uptime based on
service stop/starts, and to analyze errors and status changes. Point out
that the Event Log service starts automatically when you start
Windows 2000.
• Emphasize that acquiring the necessary status information requires the
automated accumulation of logs, or the running of command-line
utilities and programs. Discuss the use of scripts and programs to
provide scheduled automation.
• Emphasize that Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) provides
a single point of integration through which status information from
many sources within a computer can be accessed. Mention the sample
scripts on the Student CD.


Analyzing the Collected Data
The status of the network services can be generated from real-time data,
accumulated logs, and calculated result sets. The analysis processes, either
manual or automatic, draw on the collected status information to create a
final result set. This result set can then be used to respond to service
variations.



Selecting Response Strategies
Emphasize that the time taken to return a service to full operation is a
function of the time taken to detect and respond to the failure, and the time
to repair. Point out that minimizing the time taken to detect and respond to
service variations, or to provide automated responses to service variations,

can reduce the impact of failures and variations.

Policies, Procedures, Processes

A management plan for network services is generated from strategies and
permits detection of, and response to, changes in the network services. Your
management plan defines policies, procedures, and processes that permit you to
respond to, verify, and anticipate variations in the service.
The highest priority in your management plan must be to detect and respond to
critical events such as service or network failures. At a lower priority, you must
monitor design compliance and anticipate the need for design changes. The
strategies defining your management plan can specify reactive, proactive,
manual, or automatic responses to service variations.
The management plan for network services is only one component of a larger
network management plan. The larger plan manages the network and
applications that are supported in the organization. You must give consideration
to how the services management plan integrates with any larger network
management plan.
A services management plan includes strategies for:


Responding to service variations as they occur.



Verifying that current operations are compliant with the design
specifications.



Anticipating the need for changes to the network services design.


Management strategies must include processes and procedures used to
continuously acquire the current status, analyze the collected data, and specify
appropriate responses.


Module 11: Windows 2000 Network Services Management

Responding to Service Variations
Slide Objective

To describe typical service
variations that require
immediate detection and
response strategies.

Lead-in

Your management plan
must determine which
service variations require
immediate detection, along
with the required responses
to these variations.

Ask students to give
examples of services and
threshold values that are
critical in their organizations.




Services and Servers Unavailable



Client Requests Not Resolved



Threshold Values Exceeded



Calculated Values Outside Specification

You must detect network service variations, such as the failure of a service, and
respond appropriately to restore operation. Your strategies must define
processes to respond to the service variations automatically, or provide
notification to operations staff for manual responses.
Typically, immediate detection, notification, and responses are required when:


Services or servers are unavailable.



Client requests for services fail.




Threshold values are exceeded.



Calculated values are outside the specifications.

Wherever possible, an effective management plan defines processes to detect
and respond to service variations before failure occurs.
Immediate notifications of service variations are required when operations staff
must make the response. If your strategies include processes to automate
responses to service variations, these processes must also include notifications
to operations staff of automated system responses that have occurred.

Verifying Compliance with the Design
Slide Objective

To describe how to ensure
that functionality, security,
availability, and
performance are within the
design specifications.




Manual Testing



Scheduled Audits, Availability, and Redundancy Tests

Lead-in



Monitoring

To verify compliance with
the design specifications,
you must include both the
monitoring and testing of the
services.



Service Uptime



Service Performance



Service-to-Service Interaction


the

The design specifications for an existing network services infrastructure provide
the baseline against which to test compliance. If the specifications are exceeded
in operation, the services might no longer provide the required functionality,
security, availability, or performance. The specifications in a conservative
design are selected with sufficient tolerance so that exceeding them does not
cause immediate failure.
You can design your management plan to verify compliance with the design
specifications either manually or automatically. To verify that services are
operating within the required specifications, it may be necessary to analyze both
threshold values and accumulated data.

Manual Testing
You cannot verify some aspects of a design, such as the testing of server
redundancy, by using automatically collected data. These design aspects require
the definition of the appropriate manual processes and procedures to ensure that
the services are compliant.

Scheduled Audits, Availability, and Redundancy Tests
The security and access permissions for a service are often modified over time.
You can conduct regular audits to ascertain compliance with security, and
access design specifications.
If the service infrastructure consists of multiple servers providing redundancy
and load balancing, tests will confirm compliance with the design
specifications. Your compliance testing procedures can specify that servers or
services be stopped to test the response of either automated or manual
reconfiguration procedures.



Module 11: Windows 2000 Network Services Management

5

Monitoring
Include monitoring processes in your management plan to measure service
uptime, service performance, and service-to-service interaction. The operations
staff can use these measurements to verify compliance with the design
specifications.

Service uptime
To assess the availability of a service, design your strategy to measure the
uptime of both individual servers and services.

Service performance
The performance of a server providing a service begins to degrade as the client
query rate increases. Monitoring client-to-service interaction, and processor
performance, gives an indication of when the specifications are being exceeded.

Service-to-service interaction
You must monitor interaction between services, such as replication between
multiple WINS servers, or DNS to WINS query traffic, to ensure compliance
with the specifications. Your management plan must include analysis of
replication schedules, replication traffic, and service interaction traffic.

Anticipating Service Infrastructure Design Changes
Slide Objective

To describe the possible
methods of anticipating the
need for changes to the
services network design.

In your strategy, you must
include the processes
necessary to anticipate
when design changes will
be required.

Design?

The resources required to support the services infrastructure, and the
requirements of the infrastructure, can change over time. For example, a WINS
database requires more disk resources as the database grows. In addition, dayto-day operations management, and automatic changes, can alter the services
infrastructure enough to require design changes. Although most of these
changes are minor, over time, the cumulative effect can be significant.
Include in your management strategies processes to measure the change in
resource needs for your services. The measurement processes require the
accumulation of information about the consumption of resources over time.
Operations staff uses this information to anticipate the need for changes to the
network design.
For example, when you release a new application to users, it might increase the
load on the DNS service. Monitoring the response of the DNS service will show
a decrease in performance as the client load increases. Although the DNS
service might currently comply with the design specifications, monitored data
shows a trend indicating that redesign is necessary to support this new
application.
Note If you must design your management plan to predict the need for future
changes to the design specifications, you must include processes for trend
analysis by using the monitored data.

Response to Service Variations

You must design processes in your management plan to provide feedback and

can be taken to restore operation.
Design the processes for your management plan to:


Obtain the current status of the services or the services infrastructure.



Analyze collected data to verify service operation and compliance with the
design, and use trend analysis to predict when compliance will be
compromised.



Respond to service variations to bring services back into compliance.

Note Any plan to monitor and respond to service variations is often part of a
larger management system, such as Microsoft Systems Management Server, or
third-party management solutions.
The acquisition of status information, along with the analysis of data, can be
automated or manual.

To obtain the operational status of a service requires information about
individual service providers and network conditions, and verification that client
requests receive appropriate responses. When the data available from a single
source is not extensive enough to give a complete picture of service operation,
you can use a combination of several tools and sources to derive the status.
To obtain the necessary information for assessing a service, you can use the
following sources:

Data Collection Strategies
Slide Objective

To describe the strategies
available for the collection of
status information about
services.



Lead-in

You need to design
strategies to accumulate
status information about
services and the overall
network.



Data Collection


Centralized



Distributed


Generated Events


Performance Logs and Alerts



Service monitors



SNMP

The collection of status information for analysis is critical to the process of
monitoring the network services. Monitoring individual services, and the
overall network, is an intensive process that can generate large amounts of
accumulated status information. Generating an event to signal a change in status
can significantly reduce the amount of status information that is required. It
might be required for the process to accumulate unprocessed information from
which to derive the status of the services. This unprocessed information comes
from logs, tools and utilities, or events generated by automated monitoring
processes.

Data Collection
In a distributed collection strategy, the data is accumulated at multiple points
within the infrastructure. You can also distribute the analysis and responses, but
it is likely that you will centralize the collected data to allow a single point of
management, such as a help desk. If you must channel the status data to a
central management point, you can accomplish this in one of two ways:



In-band data collection. The status data flows across the same network that
is used for services and user data. This data flow will impact the network if
large amounts of data are collected, or network failures occur.



Out-of-band data collection. The status data flows through separate logical
or physical network connections. The data collection network is not affected
by failures in the network being used for services and user data.

Select in-band data collection when the network infrastructure is failuretolerant, or has redundant paths. Use an out-of-band strategy when the network
infrastructure is not fault tolerant, and the network failures would prevent data
collection.


10

Module 11: Windows 2000 Network Services Management

Centralized Data Collection
In a centralized monitoring strategy, the status data is accumulated and
analyzed at a central location. This central location can be a management
station or a central node within a larger management system; it is typically a
host running a set of management tools and programs. Centralized data
collection increases network usage, which can degrade network performance. In
the case of a network failure, no status data will be available.
If the centralized data collection strategy is designed to operate even when
network and node failures exist, then you must plan to use out-of-band data
collection. This means providing different paths for data collection. For

example, you can use a series of dial-up modems, or Integrated Services Digital
Network (ISDN) connections, that are not part of the normal data network for
data collection.

Distributed Data Collection
A distributed monitoring strategy accumulates the data on many nodes within
the services infrastructure. This accumulation allows the data to be processed
before being sent to a management node, thereby significantly reducing the
amount of data that is processed at the management node. Collecting the status
at distributed locations allows localized responses to failures. This can be
important when the strategy must allow for the independent operation of
locations when network failures occur.

Generated Events
Event notification requires that the monitored service provide information about
its current status, or that some external software is used to monitor the service
for status changes. Active service monitoring can generate events, send event
notification, and in some cases, automatically restart a service.

Performance Logs and Alerts events
System Monitor allows events to be generated by running an application when
set thresholds are exceeded. This allows status information to be written to a log
file, thereby providing an event that is sent directly to the operations staff or to
an intermediary monitoring application.

Service monitor events
The service monitors available for use depend on which products are installed.
Service recovery and monitoring is built into the Windows 2000 operating
system and is provided in products such as Microsoft Exchange Server. On
detecting a failure, service monitors restart the failed services, restart the server,

or run a program to send notification of failure events.

SNMP events
Adding SNMP to Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
allows use of SNMP Management Information Base (MIB) definitions to assess
the current service operation. When SNMP is installed on a Windows 2000–
based computer, SNMP traps may be generated based on the events written to
the Event logs and defined in the MIB for that particular service.

Tools and Utilities
Slide Objective

To describe the tools and
utilities that can be used to
generate network and
service status information.

Status
Information

WAN Link

Lead-in

Router


You can use a variety of
network tools and utilities to
analyze the operational
status of the network
services.

Tools and
Utilities

You can use command-line network tools and utilities to test the status of both
the services and the network infrastructure. You can use the information
collected by these tools and utilities to analyze service and network operation
and variation. You can use the tools and utilities interactively or store their
output in files for later analysis.
You can use the following tools interactively to provide status information:


Network Monitor. A tool used to monitor the network data stream for all of
the information (called frames or packets) that is transferred over a network.
The Network Monitor supplied with Windows 2000 captures data sent to
and from the computer on which it is running. The version of Network
Monitor available with Microsoft Systems Management Server can capture
all network data.



Netdiag. A utility that performs a series of tests to isolate networking and
connectivity problems; it is also used to determine the functional state of
your network client. Netdiag does extensive testing of the computer on

which it is run, including checking the availability of WINS and DNS.
Netdiag is installed with the support tools, which are available in the
\Support\Tools directory of your Windows 2000 CD.



Ping. A utility used to troubleshoot IP-level connectivity. Ping allows you to
specify the size of packets to use (the default is 32 bytes), how many to
send, whether to record the route used, what Time to Live (TTL) value to
use, and whether to set the "don't fragment" flag. Ping provides a minimum
average and maximum roundtrip time (RTT), which is useful to analyze
where routing delays occur.



Tracert. A route-tracing utility that displays a list of nearside router
interfaces from the routers along the path between a source host and a
destination. Tracert uses the IP TTL field in Internet Control Message
Protocol (ICMP) Echo Requests and ICMP Time Exceeded messages to
determine the path from a source to a destination through an IP
internetwork.


12

Module 11: Windows 2000 Network Services Management


Pathping. A route-tracing tool that combines the features of Ping and
Tracert with additional unique information. Over a period of time, Pathping

sends packets to each router on the path to a final destination, and then
computes results based on the packets returned from each hop. Pathping
shows the degree of packet loss at any given router or link, so you can
pinpoint which routers or links might be causing network problems.



Nslookup. A utility used for troubleshooting DNS problems, such as host
name resolution failure. Nslookup displays a command prompt and shows
the host name and IP address of the local DNS server. You can then perform
interactive queries to test DNS name resolution.



Netstat. A utility used to display protocol statistics and current TCP/IP
connections. You can display the connection status and throughput statistics
for TCP/IP interfaces in the computer.



Nbtstat. A utility that displays protocol statistics and current TCP/IP
connections that use NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT). When a network is
functioning normally, NetBT resolves NetBIOS names to IP addresses.

Performance Logs and Alerts

Slide Objective

To describe how
Performance Logs and
Alerts can be used to obtain
data and trigger alerts.

Lead-in

You can use Performance
Logs and Alerts to obtain
real-time data, and to collect
data logs.

Centralized
Collection
Distributed
Collection


Server Performance



Network Performance



Infrastructure Performance


System Monitor, which is found within the Performance Console, allows you to
obtain real-time data and collect logs. The Performance Console also includes
Performance Logs and Alerts to provide logging and notification of changes in
a service. It does this by setting triggers on appropriate counters. You can
automate the collection process by specifying a schedule.
System Monitor and Performance Logs and Alerts support a large number of
objects, and can access counters covering many aspects of an object’s
operation. You can select the objects and counters to suit your particular
infrastructure. DHCP, WINS, DNS, and RAS Objects exist to supply the status
on these services.
System Monitor log files can be generated on individual servers, or the data can
be obtained from multiple servers by a single instance of System Monitor, and
written to a centralized log. To ensure the smallest file sizes, always log data by
using the binary format.
You can select a strategy for data collection:


Centralized, if the number of counters is low, the collection interval is long,
or both.



Distributed, if the number of counters is high, the collection interval is short,
or both.

Note To assess the impact of distributed data collection on the network, log
data to a file on one server, and calculate the number of bytes/second for the
accumulated data. This value represents the number of bytes/second that
traverse the network to a central instance of System Monitor.



14

Module 11: Windows 2000 Network Services Management

Server Performance
To derive overall usage and performance levels for servers, you must include
strategies for collection of status data from all servers. Be aware that you must
acquire and analyze many counters to assess in detail the operation of a single
server running multiple services.
The default System Overview log defines data collection on processor usage,
current memory page activity, and disk queue length. This data provides a quick
view of a server’s resource usage level.

Network Performance
If network traffic exceeds the local area network (LAN) capacity, performance
will be degraded for all users and services on the network. You can monitor
network traffic levels, particularly on larger routed networks, by using the
Network Segment object found in Network Monitor.
For example, the threshold you set on network usage depends on your network
infrastructure and topology. Typically, if the average value of this counter is
above 30 percent on an Ethernet segment, collisions on the segment reduce
performance.
You can use the Network Segment Broadcast counter found in Network
Monitor to calculate the bandwidth used by broadcast traffic. Because each
computer processes every broadcast, high broadcast levels can mean lower
performance.
Note To monitor TCP/IP statistics on computers running Windows 2000,
install the SNMP service. Performance Logs and Alerts access these TCP/IP
statistics.


Services Infrastructure Performance
You can include a range of System Monitor and Network Monitor counters
collected from various points within the system. You can view the data as it is
obtained, or log it to a file for future analysis. You can use the acquired data to
derive information about the performance of the overall services infrastructure.
