Overview
I have been setting up my new 2008 R2 environment the last month so I haven’t been as busy with my blog. The new test environment is to mimic both internal and external access in a dual SharePoint farm setup. While setting up my SSPs I was being quite modern and using the username@domain.name for my service accounts when I ran into a provisioning error.
Error
"Provisioning failed the specified account name is invalid. Parameter name: account"
It took me about a half an hour to figure out what went wrong. The good news is you don’t need to resetup an SSP to fix this error, go to Operations –> Security Configuration –> Service Accounts:
Change the username and password of your web applications for the SSP and MySite to domainname\username format. After a minute the site should provision.
It’s a little sad that SharePoint is not ready for the username@domain.name style authentication.
