Hi @delucia_chris ,

It seems that the others in the community face the same problem with you, but it is working now. Could you please check whether the problem still persist in your side?

Hi @v-yiruan-msft,

I just tested this morning and the "Connect-PowerBIServiceAccount" command was successful.  Since I haven't changed anything since l started experiencing the issue last week, I assume the issue described in the 2018 post that you referenced with your link is not relevant to the issue represented by this post.  The engineer side of me is of course curious what caused...and corrected...the issue but at least I am grateful it is working agian.

Thank you for the follow-up,

Steve

Hi Chris,

I likewise started experiencing this same error yesterday (2021-02-17) in my Powershell script when executing the "Connect-PowerBIServiceAccount" command.  The script has been working fine as early as last Friday.  Still no closer to a resolution after hours of troubleshooting.  Please reply with any recent findings from your side that you think might be of interest.

Best regards,

Steve
