Hi,
I did also faced the same issue. It happens when we create Groups using Group Policy. If we create Group and same time we enter same value in rename to field.
Please follow the below steps and make sure “Rename to” field is blank.
As per your Event Logs.
1. Open Group Policy Management console and open “'Management Policy” GPO.
2. Go to Computer Configuration > Preferences > Control Penal Settings > Local Users and Groups and
3. Select SQLAdmin Group and double click.
4. Remove SQLAdmin Value from “Rename to” field and make sure “Rename to” field is blank .
Hope it helps
