New Post: Error in granting rights to Profile and Social database (User Profile Service Application)

Hi there!

I had the same problem using SPAutoInstaller (Configuration Version="3.96") on a multi-server farm.
All service account are unique and have separate passwords. and the input XML has been filled using SPAutoInstallerGUI.

Error Message:

• Granting domain\serviceaccountname rights to Prefix_Content_MyPortal...
• Granting domain\serviceaccountname rights to Prefix_Profile...
  Add-SPShellAdmin :
  "Cannot add domain\serviceaccountname to the SharePoint_Shell_Access role of the database Prefix_Profile. A
  possible cause of this error is that the account name was already added to the database as a login using a different
  user name than the account name."
