Are the domain controllers WS2003? That is what the KB is referencing. Using the same account for all SCOM services like that is totally fine.
Make sure the account you are using is a LOCAL ADMIN on the box you are performing the install on, or you will see this error. Don’t PASTE the password or accounts – re-type them in, each box. I have seen where paste appears to work visibly but does not.

While installing Ops Mgr, at 'Configure Operations Manager accounts' screen, I tried to use same domain account for OMAA and Data Access, Reader, and Writer accounts. ( Client wanted to me use same account, so I have not other account to use). When I click 'next' on this screen, I get error: "One or more accounts provided could not be validated, please provide valid user names and passwords" A Red cross mark is shown against: Data Access, Reader, and Writer accounts I am sure password is correct, id is entered in format domain\username. Search resulted to this KB: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/974886 , but it does not seem to applicable for my OS. Did any one face this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Sri
