turned out to be wonderfully simple, but not in the docs.

If I set the code to Username = "MachineName\AccountName" it works.
It shows up in the Services console as ".\AccountName". I had
already tried setting Username = ".\AccountName", which got the error
saying that was an invalid account.

Very strange, but hey, as my favorite professor always said, "In the
end, working is good."
