|The Defender for Identity sensor has limited functionality due to connectivity issues to the configured domain controller.|This issue affects Defender for Identity's ability to detect suspicious activities related to domain controllers monitored by this Defender for Identity sensor.| Make sure the domain controllers are up and running and that this Defender for Identity sensor can open LDAP connections to them. In addition, in **Settings** make sure to configure a Directory Service account for every deployed forest.|Medium|Sensors health issues tab|All|
