SharePoint (and Project Server) Shenanigans

Today a colleague of mine had an issue at a client about Registering Managed Accounts in SharePoint 2010.

This is a new feature of 2010 to allow for the maintenance of service accounts and even includes password refresh cycles etc.…

If you come across the error:

“The given key was not present in the dictionary”

It is likely that you need to setup some permissions on Active Directory as found in the following post:

The answer mentions using All Authenticated Users – but I suspect you just need to add the permissions to the appropriate service accounts instead.
