When you use Cluster.exe to perform the subject action, you receive:

Verifying cluster node availability...
Verifying support for password change operation...
Verifying that all clusters use the same service account...

Changing password on domain controller...
Failed to query cluster ClusterName.
System error 1315 has occurred (0x00000523).
The name provided is not a properly formed account name.

This problem will occur if you use the UPN (User Principal Name) format, like [email protected], to specify the Cluster service account.

To workaround this error, use the DomainClustAccount format.
