It also depends upon how broadly you define "AD maintenance"
So I would also add repadmin /showrepl (or /showutdvec if you're running
2003 at forest functional level =1 or =2).
Further, if you broadly define it, FRS is in the picture as well. We have a
tool on the web Ultrasound that is a solid FRS monitoring solution that I'd
recommend.

DNS is critical, so monitoring that, as Cary noted, is key.
