Personally, I would leave a DC as vanilla as possible. The more cr** installed, the less reliable the DC will become and the more deviation will exist within the DC real estate itself, which can only add to your TCO.
 
Why not create a _vbscript_ to do this instead? I don't have an example to hand, but am sure google can help you there :)

Subject: [ActiveDir] Outlook installed on a DC

Hi all,
 
I have a problem whereby our I've been asked by a manager to install outlook on our DC's to allow us to email back the services team when backups have failed.
 
I am dead against this, I have just managed to split the DC & File and Print roles and reduce the number of domain admins.
 
My gut feeling is against this, though I have no technical reason why this is bad?
 
Does anyone have any views or advice on this matter?
Any scenerio's that could occur would be nice...
 
thanks
Frank
