No mapping between account names and security ids was done

Ran into a bit of stupid today--I doubt the details matter too much but I was attempting to install the Hyper-V MSU and the Hyper-V role in Windows Server 2008 when I came up against this message in both cases:

No mapping between account names and security ids was done

Naturally I told Windows I don't care and to sort itself out but it wouldn't listen.

I finally realised I'd renamed the Administrator account as I normally do but hadn't logged off or rebooted. I rebooted just to be safe and that fixed the problem.
