This service is designed for small organisations that want CoreADMonitor up and running quickly, without a long project. The typical scope includes:
- Reviewing your existing on-prem Active Directory and, if present, your PKI.
- Installing CoreADMonitor on a suitable server or management workstation.
- Connecting the right data sources (domain controllers, PKI components, DNS where relevant).
- Configuring sensible default dashboards, indicators and thresholds.
- Walking through the dashboards with you so day-to-day use feels straightforward.
The focus is on a clean, minimal setup that fits your environment and can be extended later if needed.
Fast, low-disruption setup
- Typically delivered fully remotely.
- Most environments completed within 1–2 days.
- Work planned to avoid changes during busy hours.
- Clear notes on what was changed and how to roll back if needed.
You end the engagement with a working CoreADMonitor instance and enough knowledge to use it confidently.
This lightweight health check looks at the essentials of your on-prem Active Directory and, where in scope, your PKI. Typical review points include:
- AD topology, sites and services, and FSMO role placement.
- Domain controllers, replication status and event logs.
- DNS configuration that underpins Active Directory.
- PKI hierarchy and key certificate authorities (if present).
- Key certificate templates and how they are used.
- CRL and delta CRL publication and expiry.
The goal is not a lengthy audit, but a focused review that highlights what really needs attention.
Clear, practical outputs
- A short written summary of the current state.
- A prioritized list of recommended improvements.
- Simple explanations suitable for non-technical decision-makers.
- Optional follow-up time to work through remediation items.
You get enough clarity to decide what to fix now, what to plan for later, and where CoreADMonitor can help.
Once CoreADMonitor is in place, some organisations prefer a bit of ongoing help to keep an eye on the dashboards and deal with recurring issues. Typical activities include:
- Periodic reviews of CoreADMonitor dashboards (for example monthly or quarterly).
- Highlighting the most important findings in simple language.
- Helping you prioritise what to fix, and in what order.
- Advising when a pattern may point to a wider design issue.
This is intended to be light-touch support rather than a full managed service.
Flexible, small-scale assistance
- Engagements sized in hours or small blocks of days.
- Remote-first, to keep cost and disruption low.
- Can include help implementing specific remediation items.
- Easy to pause and resume as your needs change.
You stay in control of what is done, while having expert help available when needed.
Work is scoped to stay as small and focused as possible. Typical steps are:
- A short call or email exchange to understand your environment and priorities.
- A clear, written description of what will be done and what is out of scope.
- Preference for fixed-scope packages where the work is well understood.
- Delivery primarily remote, with on-site only where it adds real value.
This keeps expectations aligned and avoids surprises for both sides.
Indicative pricing guidance
Pricing is tailored to the size and complexity of your environment and the level of support you need. Factors that typically influence cost include:
- Number of domains and domain controllers.
- Whether a PKI is in scope, and how complex it is.
- How much preparation work is needed before starting.
- Whether you prefer a one-off engagement or ongoing support.
Instead of publishing generic rates, quotes are prepared quickly based on your specific situation.
| Service | Typical effort | Best suited for |
|---|---|---|
| CoreADMonitor installation and configuration | 1–3 days, usually remote | Organisations new to CoreADMonitor who want a clean, supported initial setup. |
| Active Directory and PKI health check | 1–4 days depending on scope | Environments that have grown organically and need a clear view of current risks. |
| Ongoing monitoring and maintenance | Small blocks of hours per month or quarter | Teams who want an extra pair of eyes on the dashboards but do not need a full managed service. |
A small organisation with one site one forest can have parent and child Domain, two domain controllers and a handful of servers wants better visibility of AD and certificate expiry. The engagement typically includes:
- CoreADMonitor installation and configuration.
- A basic AD and PKI health check focused on immediate risks.
- A short follow-up session to walk through the dashboards.
This keeps the effort small, while giving the team a clear view of their environment.
Managed service provider with several small tenants
An MSP manages a number of small on-prem AD environments and wants a simple way to check health across them. A typical engagement might cover:
- Designing a practical way to deploy CoreADMonitor for multiple customers.
- Installing and configuring the dashboards for an initial group of tenants.
- Agreeing a lightweight review pattern to flag recurring issues.
The result is a repeatable, low-overhead approach that fits existing MSP workflows.
ViceloIT focuses on on-prem Active Directory and PKI for smaller environments. The aim is to bring clear, specialist help to organisations that cannot justify large consulting projects, but still need their identity and certificate infrastructure to be reliable.
Engagements are calm, practical and transparent: you know what will be done, how long it should take, and what the outputs will look like before work starts.
What this means in practice
- Deep focus on Active Directory, PKI and related monitoring.
- Independence from large vendors and tool stacks.
- Advice based on what is appropriate for your size and budget.
- Documentation and explanations written for real-world use.
The goal is simple: help you understand and improve your environment without unnecessary complexity.
If any of these services sound useful, the next step is simply to get in touch. A short email or introductory call is usually enough to understand your environment and suggest a sensible way forward.
You can outline your situation in a few lines – for example how many domain controllers you have, whether you use a PKI today, and what you are most concerned about – and you will receive a clear, no-obligation response.
