First Confirm that the Managed Users Service Account Container exists using the MMC Active Directory Groups and Users tool:

Second Use Windows PowerShell to create the accounts by running the two commands in lines steps 5 & 6 below:

  1. Click Start
  2. Click All Progams
  3. click Windows PowerShell 2.0, and
  4. then click the Windows PowerShell icon.
  5. Run the following command: Import-Module ActiveDirectory
  6. Run the following command: New-ADServiceAccount [-SAMAccountName ] [-Path ].

If you omit the parameters, the power shell will provide prompts that allow you to supply the name.

That't all there is to it.
