Hello!
Respect for all the work guys!
While installing SP2016 RTM on Win Srv 2012 Std + SQL 2014 SP1 everthing goes right (web apps, dbs and sites work fine) until the error is displayed:
__Error Provisioning the User Profiles Service Application__
But before that we can see __"Portal" Managed Account not found. Check your XML!__

This is Because I changed the __Common Name__ of "Portal" account in Online Configurator - after twitching output XML to contain "Portal" as this account's Common Name the Installer Worked fine. It probably should not be editable like __spservice__ account...
I know that Online Configurator is not supported for SP2016, but maybe if it is in the future take this under consideration.
Thanks again for your work! Rock on, Bullvan

Hi There,
I just run into the same issue, when using the latest version with the "Bata" of the online configurator. But even if I use the "Portal" as WebApp name, I get a Issue with the user profile service and could not create any mysites...
_Mysite provisioning failed for user:[i:0#.w|xxxx\xxxx] with correlationid:[95346f9d-60a9-9090-1933-e1ae7d84f9af] on retry attempt:[0] on queue type:[e94a6caa-b0f5-4897-b489-585ca50c7803]. Error:[Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.PersonalSiteCreateException: A failure was encountered while attempting to create the site. ---> Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: Cannot complete this action._
Did you have the same issue with the mysite creation? (rights and root site in place)
