Hi @Tevon2.0,

Thank you for posting in this community.

This "item has been added" issue seems to happen usually when you change the domain and then re-add the same user account.

First let's try to delete these duplicate accounts:

1.Run PowerShell

Get-SPManagedAccount

to list all the accounts, note the duplicate.
2.Run PowerShell

Remove-SPManagedAccount -Identity DOMAIN\ServiceAcct 

for the account with duplicate (this will only remove one of the duplicated accounts) . If you have problems in removing the account, try restarting IIS and try to execute it again.

3.IISRESET

4.Use the account in the SharePoint Farm Administrators group to revisit the service account.
