I'm trying to get a service to run under a domain account. When I try to add the account, I get the error

The account name is invalid or does not exist, or the password is invalid for the account name specified

I know the account exists and the password is correct. I am also having trouble adding it manually to the "Log on as a service" setting, I get the error

An extended error has occured. Failed to save Local Policy Database

After a day of research I'm starting to suspect it has to do with it being a 2008 R2 server trying to use a 2000 domain account. I've tried to change the LAN Manager authentication level and the Minimum session security looks okay per my Google digging. I'm not sure what else I can do?

I'm trying to update my server, a DL380 G2, from Server 2003 to Server 2008 (R1 not R2). Even though it is an older server, I've been able to get everything working except the Advanced System Management Controller Driver (older version of the iLO driver). The driver for the G2 doesn't work, OS not supported, and any drivers newer (G3-G6) say the firmware is different. This wouldn't be a problem, but this driver controls the fan speed of the server, without it they go at 100% full-time...not cool.

Has anyone gotten a driver to work, or is there a program out there that can fill in the gap and at least control the fan speed? Or am I going to have to get ear plugs or go back to 2003?

Thanks
