Most probably you have a problem with reading the account. Try this process to resolve it:

1. Go into Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in
2. Click View…Advanced Features on the menu
3. Find my service account in the directory
4. Right-click on it and select Properties from the menu
5. Click on the Security tab
6. Click on Authenticated Users in the top part of the dialog
7. Check the Read box in the Allow column
8. Click the OK button to save the changes
