Hi, we have a new VM with SQL server and plan to use our first MSA. I asked for an account that had embedded $ in the name (e.g., "sql$blah$blah$msa"). We use this format for regular domain accounts without issue. Our admin
said the creating the MSA did not error, but was unable to find it upon lookup. Creating a new account by replacing the $ with underscores works fine and the account is visible. I was unable to find anything about special naming for an
MSA. Anybody have an idea what's going on? A bug? A feature to make accounts invisible? Thanks.
