SMS Systems Management Server could not locate the "System Management" container in Active Directory. Nor could it create a default container. This will prevent Site Component Manager from updating or adding any objects to Active Directory.

Possible cause: This site's SMS Service account or the site server's machine account might not have the correct rights to update active directory.

Solution: Either give the Service Account rights to update the domain's System Container, or manually create the "System Management" container in this domain's Active Directory system container, and give the Service Account full rights to that container (and all children objects.)

You need to make sure that you’ve extended the AD Schema. You also need to make sure that either the Site Server Computer Account (if you’re running in Advanced Security) or the SMS Service Account (if you’re running in Standard Security) has Full Control access to the System container in AD and all Child objects. These permissions allow the System Management container to be created and for data to be published in AD.
