REMEMBER - before importing ANY Management Pack - READ THE GUIDE that ships with them - there may be critical things you need to do first. When a new Native MP is replacing an older conversion MP.... you often MUST DELETE the previous old MP FIRST..... and this should be documented in the "Before importing the Management Pack" section of the guides.
