Measurements made by the test
Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
Directory system agent DB size	Indicates the size of the database files on the AD server.	MB
System volume size	Indicates the size of the SYSVOL folder - SYSVOL is the shared directory on domain controllers that contains Group Policy and logon script information.	MB
Directory system agent log file size	Indicates the size of the log files on the AD server.	MB
Directory system agent free log space	Indicates the amount of free space on the volume hosting log files.	MB	Ideally, this value should be high.
Directory system agent free DB space	Indicates the amount of free space on the volume hosting database files.	MB	Ideally, this value should be high. If the free space for database files is very low, then the AD server might be rendered unable to update objects.
System volume share availability	Indicates whether the SYSVOL folder is available or not.	Percent	If the value of this measure is 100, it indicates the SYSVOL folder is available. The value 0 on the other hand, indicates that the folder is not available.
