I am setting up SCOM 2012 Active Directory integration and have been following the documentation closely however can someone clarify for me if I need to add a run as account to the Active Directory Based Agent Assignment Account Run as profile? It is currently empty.

If this profile is empty then scom will use the default action account to create the containers in AD. If the default action account does not have doamin admin rights it will fail. So if you add an account that has domain admin privileges then scom will use that account to create the containers.

Hi, From the following document, we can see The default account used to perform agent assignment is the default action account specified during Setup, also referred to as the Active Directory Based Agent Assignment Account.: How to Use Active Directory Domain Services to Assign Computers to Management Servers http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh212712 Thanks.
