BizTalk Server Basic Configuration - Service Credential Account Validation Fails ("Object is not from a domain listed in the Select Location dialog box")

I am configuring Microsoft BizTalk Server using the Basic Configuration option. During setup, I am required to provide a Service Credential Username and Password.

When I click Browse and enter the domain account:

<DOMAIN><USER_ID>

the account validation fails with the following error:

"The following object is not from a domain listed in the Select Location dialog box, and is therefore not valid: <USER_ID>"

Because of this error, I am unable to proceed with the BizTalk Server configuration.

Environment:

Product: Microsoft BizTalk Server

Configuration Type: Basic Configuration

Server Name: <SERVER_HOSTNAME>

Service Account: <DOMAIN><USER_ID>

Operating System: Windows Server

Steps to Reproduce:

Open BizTalk Server Configuration.

Select Basic Configuration.

Click Browse for Service Credential Username.

Enter the domain account <DOMAIN><USER_ID>.

Click Check Names or OK.

The validation fails with the above error.

Expected Behavior:

The domain service account should be validated successfully and available for selection as the BizTalk service credential account.

Actual Behavior:

The account validation fails with a domain/location-related error, preventing the BizTalk configuration from continuing.

Additional Context:

The issue started after our recent domain migration.

A new domain and user ID were assigned as part of the migration.

The account can be used for normal Windows login.

In Select Location dialog box, we have our hostname.

We would like to understand whether this is related to:

Domain trust configuration

BizTalk server domain membership

Active Directory replication

DNS resolution

Permissions required for BizTalk service accounts

Questions:

Does the BizTalk server need to be joined to the new domain before configuration can validate the account?

Are there additional steps required after a domain migration to allow BizTalk Configuration to recognize accounts from the new domain?

How can we verify that the new domain appears correctly in the Select Location dialog?

Are there any known BizTalk issues related to domain migrations or account validation?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.User's image

    Migrating a BizTalk server to a new domain is not supported. See a previous answer of mine https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1511953/ho-do-i-change-windows-domain-groups-for-my-biztal

    And the official Microsoft Documentation on it https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/troubleshoot/biztalk/setup-config/domain-migration-not-supported which mentions the command you need to do to workaround the issue.
