Urgent Help required: service user validation failed

I am attempting to upgrade a customers Sense Site from June 2017 to February 2018. I am logged in as the service account.

Following the entry of the Service credential password and clicking next, I got an error "Service User Validation Failed".

1. the enter password is correct
2. the user is a member of the local administrators group
3. the user is a member of a Qlik Sense Services user group which has logon as a services privileges.
4. I have also to run the upgrade as my account, but get the same issue.

best regards

Andy

can you elaborate on what you mean by " the default containers were changed and renamed in the Windows AD. Reset to default..."

Is a windows AD modification needed? We have this problem a lot and skip verification, but I would like to undertand WHY it happens.

We do not manage active directory ourselves, so I need to explain the problem to systems engineering people who don't know anything about Qlik.

We had rebooted the node before installation and it resolved this error.

By default containers for users in Windows AD will be named  users. For example mycompany.com/Users

If it's changed - it's a root of problem
