Permissions Required for Agent Maintenance Mode

I had a few emails regarding the Agent Maintenance Mode not working for some. It appears that there are a few reasons for this not to work correctly:

1. System Center Essentials 2010 that uses Opsmgr 2007 R2 but they have still don’t include the powershell support (Thanks to Bjorn Axell for this info)

2. The Default Action Account on the RMS must be a member of the Operations Manager Administrators Group. If you configured the action account by using Local System or a user that is not part of the Operations Manager Administrators Group, the script will not work.
This is a standard configuration for several MPs including the Opeartions Manager MP and the Active Directory MP.
