The computer object associated with the cluster network name resource 'SQL Network Name (SqlInstanceName)' could not be updated in domain 'domain.corp' during the Password change operation

Question

Hello.

I have a Windows Failover Cluster with two Windows Server 2019 nodes and one instance of SQL Server 2017 running. The problem is on the cluster the following error is occurring every hour:

The computer object associated with the cluster network name resource 'SQL Network Name (SqlInstanceName)' could not be updated in domain 'domain.corp' during the 
Password change operation.

The text for the associated error code is: The specified network password is not correct.

 
The cluster identity 'ClusterName$' may lack permissions required to update the object. Please work with your domain administrator to ensure that the cluster identity can update computer objects in the domain.

Cluster identity has all necessary permissions in the OU and I haven't come across a similar error on the forums.

How can I fix this error?

Thanks.
