Configuration Manager does not automatically create the System Management container in Active Directory Domain Services when the schema is extended. The container needs to be created once for each domain that includes a Configuration Manager site server that will publish site information to Active Directory Domain Services.

It is possible to grant the site server’s computer account full control permissions to the System container in Active Directory Domain Services and allow it to create the System Management container when it first publishes site information to Active Directory Domain Services. However, it is more secure to manually create the System Management container. |
The ADSIEdit MMC console can be used to create the System Management container in Active Directory Domain Services. To create an ADSIEdit MMC console, you must first install the Windows Server support tools. These tools are included in the support tools folder on both Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003 CDs. To install the Windows Server support tools, navigate to \SUPPORT\TOOLS\ on the installation CD and run suptools.msi.
