Re: BUG #2182: Internal account lookup failure:

After struggling with this same problem for too long, I discovered that
omitting the SERVICEDOMAIN value and letting the installer set it via
default did the trick.

Hope this helps someone else.

Well, it is from pginstaller. It usually means that the SAM somehow lost
sync. This can happen in a domain environment, haven't seen it anywhere
else. It usually works if you just restart the installation process
having created the user account manually first.
