if you want to quickly determine if an Authentication Services daemon is operating in a connected or disconnected state from a domain controller, the following commands can be used:
$ /opt/quest/libexec/vas/sugi/asdcom GetConnectedStatus
SAS daemon is operating in a connected state.
$ /opt/quest/libexec/vas/sugi/asdcom GetConnectedStatus
SAS daemon is operating in a disconnected state.
$
The output from these commands can be used in automation tasks.

Syslog:
