"Active Directory Last Bind - Critical Error"
Goto the MOM Home Page
 
I have started having a few alerts generated via the rule "Active Directory Last Bind - Critical Error". I have disabled rules in the past for the Op Master bind alerts as this is a known issue with MOM.

Is the same true for these AD last bind errors, or are these indicative of an serious problem?

From the microsoft.public.mom newsgroup
Actually and unfortunately these are normal. Some of the Microsoft PSS guys have seen this problem themselves with these errors just showing up after a while in their test environments, yet it seems there is no problem in the Event Viewer for the servers. There is a bug on this that has been sent to the MOM team which it is hoped will be corrected soon.

There are 10 additional performance processing rules for Active Directory availability related to replication latency, global catalog search time and AD lost objects. Microsoft have seen no issues with disabling these and it seems this is what they recommend until the updated Active Management Pack Rules are available that have been updated for Windows 2003 which seem to have fixed the majority of bugs.
