Hello, can someone explain the answer?
Yap – this is managed service account – so it’s hybrid user/computer account. Normally if you want assign it to service in Log On tab you can use both down-level logon notation (ABC.com\KingWeb$) or UNC notation ([email protected]) without specifying the password, but if you want to assign MSA to IIS -> Application Pools -> advanced properties -> Identity, it will let you use only downl-level notation.
