Description
We are using an ActiveDirectory user in order to run the Icinga Agent Service on Windows. We are talking about an "ordinary" user, not a managed user account (MSA). The latter one is not available for use in our company.
Unfortunately the CmdLet "Update-Icinga" doesn't take the password for the service user into account. The service user itself is being preserved, but the Icinga service doesn't restart after upgrading because the password has been forgotten.

Research direction
Start at the Update-Icinga CmdLet and reproduce an upgrade with an ordinary Active Directory service user. Trace how the service credentials are handled during the upgrade and verify that the password is retained, the Icinga service restarts successfully, and the existing service user remains unchanged.
