So, you deployed the OMS/Log Analytics AD (Active Directory) Assessment solution, and let it sit for a few hours, or maybe even a few days now.. Yet, the AD Assessment tile is still shows, “No Data Found“….

Well that is frustrating! Below is the series of steps I took to get this working, and ultimately what the actual solution was to get this OMS/Log Analytics solution pack working.

First things first,  did the basics… Check to ensure the Microsoft Monitoring Agent is deployed, and installed correctly. Also checked to see the service was running.

Confirmed the AD Assessment prerequisites were all satisfied:

• The Active Directory Health Check solution requires a supported version of .NET Framework 4.5.2 or above installed on each computer that has the Microsoft Monitoring Agent (MMA) installed. The MMA agent is used by System Center 2016 – Operations Manager and Operations Manager 2012 R2, and the Log Analytics service.
• The solution supports domain controllers running Windows Server 2008 and 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2, and Windows Server 2016.
• A Log Analytics workspace to add the Active Directory Health Check solution from the Azure marketplace in the Azure portal. There is no further configuration required.

After all that, I decided to execute the following query within Log Analytics, I got the following results:

Operation | where Solution == "ADAssessment" | sort by OperationStatus asc

Okay, so I ensured .NET 4.0 was installed, fully. For safe measures, I enabled all of the .NET 4.6 sub-features, and for kicks, installed .NET 3.5 as well. Yet.. still nothing!

Next, I decided to take a look at the registry…

If we navigate to the following Registry Key, “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HealthService\Parameters\Management Groups\<YOUR Management Group Name>\Solutions\ADAssessment”

I decided to delete the “LastExecuted” key, and then decided to reboot the server….

After a few minutes, I went back to the OMS/Log Analytics portal, and there it is!!!!

I ran the same query again, and verified the AD Assessment solution was working as expected:

Operation | where Solution == "ADAssessment" | sort by OperationStatus asc

Great! Now, if I click within the tile, I get the following AD Health Checks.

I hope this helped! Cheers! For more information on the OMS Active Directory Assessment Solution, please visit: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/log-analytics/log-analytics-ad-assessment
