Summary

Monitors if the Citrix AD Identity Service has proper connectivity to its database.

The Citrix AD Identity service is part of a Citrix Delivery Controller deployment and is responsible for managing Active Directory computer accounts that are managed by the Machine Creation Services (MCS) provisioning mechanism.

The service has no valid database connection configured.
The database rejected the logon attempt from the service.
The database is missing a valid schema for the service.
There is a firewall blocking the communication to the database.
There is a database upgrade pending.

Resolutions

Check the Application log within Windows Logs in the Windows event viewer for detailed error messages.
