Additional Information

Use a domain account in the DOMAIN\username format. UPN format is not supported by the Configure ArcGIS Server Account Utility. When specifying a domain account, use the format DOMAIN\username. If users do not specify the domain, the ArcGIS Server installation wizard creates a local account with the user name the users specified. If users specify a domain account that does not exist, the installation returns an error. https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/server/latest/install/windows/the-arcgis-server-account.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_B0836C672B4449568F88626F8A0165B7

Workaround

Use a domain user in the form domain/username.
