Create a new SharePoint Farm: Local accounts should only be used in stand alone mode

SharePoint 2013: Error updating managed account credentials

I encountered the following message when trying to change a password for a managed account: Error deploying administration application pool credentials. Another deployment may be active. An object of the type Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPAdminAppPoolCredentialDeploymentJobDefinition named "job-admin-apppool-change" already exists under the parent Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPTimerService named "SPTimerV4".  Rename your object or delete the existing object. The error message is self explanatory - Rename your object or delete the existing object.  I choose the latter.
