Receive the error message "Windows cannot create the object Michelle Last because: The name reference is invalid" while creating a new AD account.

I receive the error message "Windows cannot create the object Michelle Last because: The name reference is invalid" while creating a new Active Directory account.

I am copying a current user’s account to this new account so that all of the permissions and everything else will be transferred over to the new user.

This occurs on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard edition OS.

What do I need to do to fix this issue?

I would rather copy the account over from the existing account to the new account that I am creating.

In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.
