Error: E20509: Failed to update account and password information for the \\SERVER\Account service, (NETIQKB6276)

fact
Domain Migration Administrator 7.1

symptom
Error: E20509: Failed to update account and password information for the  \\SERVER\Account service, rc=1057.  The account name is invalid or does not exist, or the password is  invalid for the account name specified.

cause
This error is a result of replication issues.

fix

A workaround is to migrate the account as a user first. Allow the DCs the proper amount of replication time. Then migrate it again as a service account. A second strong password will be generated but, the PDC Emulator should have this information and should be queried by the OS before returning an 'unknown password' message.
