Further clarification of pre-requisites and reducing ambiguity with a message prompt
Based on some research, it is important to use the correct user when it comes to the Active Directory User who is a member of the "Domain Admins" group for a domain and a member "Enterprise Admins" group for a forest. A message prompt with appropriate description of the credential being prompted enhances the success rate by eliminating ambiguity.
