An invalid parameter was passed to a service or function

"MSATEST" | use-serviceaccount -add -> gives "An invalid parameter was passed to a service or function."

Other commands work and give the required output.

The -Add parameter uses NetAddServiceAccount and this error message comes directly from it.

I'll need more details to debug this:

1. Please run the commands below and share the result:
   • 'MSATEST' | Use-ServiceAccount -Add -Verbose
   • 'MSATEST' | Use-ServiceAccount -Query -Verbose
2. What Windows and PowerShell versions are you using?
   • Run ver.exe from cmd
   • Run $PSVersionTable in your PowerShell
3. Is MSATEST a standalone managed service account (sMSA) or group managed service account (gMSA)?
