AATemp OU is created by Active Administrator as part of the replication latency test for the domain controllers. Active Administrator will create one entry in this OU for each DC being tested to be used to test latency on the domain. If you are experiencing replication issues with this OU that is a good sign that there may be larger replication issues on the domain as a whole.

Investigate and mitigate possible replication issues internally in your environment.
