"Active Directory Health Check" (ADHC) tool available to public?

[Spin]

Gurus,

I heard there's an "Active Directory Health Check" (ADHC) tool available
only to Microsoft employees used on consulting missions to scan companies
networks. Figuring this tool might be available online, I googled and came
up with a lot of hits, but not sure if these are copycats or near-direct
facsimiles. Are any of the tools my search came up with the real "McCoy" so
to speak?

and you would download that tool, if available, from "some site" and use it
on your production network?

Hello Spin,

What do you think why the tool is not a free download and MS support people
will come to you for the check?

Even if you find a for YOU reliable source for the ADHC, you have no idea
what's going on in your domain with just running it.

Some tools are designed to be used from real experts. And that will be the
reason that it is NOT a free download.

Best regards
