"Failed to create MOMLatency Monitors container"

The suggested workaround for creating the MOMLatencyMonitors container manually remains a workaround and does not tackle the underlying problem. The problem lies in the fact that the MOMLatencyContainer is created under the LocalSystem account and tries to create the container on the PDC role holder. The account has all the rights for the local system on the Domain Controller and not for its networked fellow DC's. Since the FSMO roles can be separated on a larger domain with multiple DC's their roles differ. If the script responsible for creating the MOMLatencyMonitors container is running from a DC other than the PDC role holder, it tries to create the container but fails due to its intrinsic rights being local. In my opinion this is the reason why creation of that particular container fails. Underlying containers are easily created because they are created locally.

If this story holds any good, it might be crucial to a successful implementation of the Active Directory Management Pack and therefore noteworthy of mentioning it in the "AD Management Pack Implementation Guide". You wouldn't have to offer the workaround as a solution but instead give directions on how to deploy the agents depending on their FSMO roles. So, if the ADMP is used and the agent is run under LocalSystem, the first DC to push the agent to would be the PDC role holder.
