The life of a Windows administrator could be quite a hectic one. Things are always happening, the phones ring, the emails pour, everything is urgent and yes, the servers have be monitored so nothing bad happens to them at any point in time. If it does happen, everyone would like to know how come that hasn't been prevented by monitoring all the vital statistics in a server and action taken before it happened.

For important servers such as domain controllers, ideally, one would have to check the logs every 5 minutes and see if there was any error such as applications crashing or communication failures, any attempt to use restricted accounts or files, passwords guessing, logins outside the working hours and so on. The typical approach on this is to let things happen and react when the problem becomes visible or some users start to complain (and yes, they will be in the middle of a very important project that now is being held by these servers that have not been monitored properly). In many cases this would be true, but in all of them, money will be lost through lack of productivity or allocation of resources to firefight this type of problems.
