Active Directory Management Pack (OOMADs.msi)

Hi folks, this will be short.  When installing the AD Management pack, please remember to open up the properties for the Agent which the DC is installed and check "Allow this agent to act as a proxy and discover managed objects on other computers."   ALSO, please install the "OOMADs.msi" locally on the DC. What is this?  This is the Active Directory Management Helper Object.   It's not well mentioned in documentation I have read up on.  

Apparently the "AD Database and Log : The script ‘AD Database and Log’ failed to create object ‘McActiveDir.ActiveDirectory’.
The error returned was: ‘ActiveX component can’t create object’ (0x1AD)" 


error is a result of not having this component installed (credit to Graham for this bit of info). "The file which is installed automatically on a push install via a Management Server can be copied and manually installed from the OpsMgr software … there is a HelpObjects folder where ooMADS.msi can be run from."


The component also fixes some Gateway issues.  Cheers.
