SYMPTOMS
When you use Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) 2000 or MOM
2005 to monitor a Microsoft Windows 2000-based or Microsoft Windows Server
2003-based domain controller that has the MOM Active Directory Management Pack
installed, the MOM Replication health monitoring may fail. When this problem
occurs, the Windows Server 2003-based domain controller reports an error event
back to the MOM Management Server, and the following events appear in the
Alerts pane of the MOM Operations Console:
The script 'AD
Replication monitoring' encountered a runtime error. Failed to determine
whether the WMI replication provider is installed. The error returned was:
'Invalid Parameter' (0x80041008)
AD Remote
Topology Discovery cannot determine whether the WMI Replication Provider is
installed. The error returned was: 'Invalid Parameter'
(0x80041008).
