Error: "No mapping between account names and security ids was done."

Error: "No mapping between account names and security ids was done."

This error message popped up when adding a domain user during SQL Server installation on a client server.

Found out a solution using SYSPREP.

If you do choose the SYSPREP route though here is what you need to do:

1. From the Start Menu select Run
2. Enter C:\Windows\System32\sysprep\sysprep.exe in the box and click OK
3. Be sure that Enter System Out-of-Box Experience (OOBE) is selected
4. Check the box next to Generalize (If this is not select the SID won’t get changed)
5. Click OK and follow the prompts when the system reboots.

It took me about 15 minutes on a Hyper-V vm.
