Unfortunately the clients want the AD visibility/management that installing provides , otherwise we'd need a service account with Dom Admin rights and that's not happening.

I'm pretty sure the AD modules work just fine when polled from a remote collector without domain admin rights.  I think there was one permission we had to set to allow some custom stuff to run, but the built-in LM modules seem to work OK for us if the user account has been assigned permissions by the Non-Admin script.
