Cause: For whatever reason, the Active Directory helper object is not being installed as part of the active directory management pack.

Solution: Install the helper object OOMADs.msi. This can be found in 1 of 2 places.
First, look in the install directory of OpsMgr on the server with the issue – typically that would be C:\Program Files\System Center Operations Manager 2007\HelperObjects

If it’s not there, then you can also find it on the install media under \HelperObjects\<ARCH> (Where arch is amd64, i386 or ia64).
Restart your agent, and it should clean itself up.
