New-SPConfigurationDatabase some or all identity references could not be translated Supply values for parameter Credential
Here I was trying to install SharePoint 2016 on a new Windows Server 2016 laptop. I run the below command to create the configuration and content database.
New-SPConfigurationDatabase –DatabaseName SharePoint_Config –DatabaseServer WIN-JC2B1V15KM5 –AdministrationContentDatabaseName SharePoint_Content –Passphrase (ConvertTo-SecureString [email protected] –AsPlaintext –Force) –FarmCredentials (Get-Credential) -localserverrole SingleServerFarm

Then I gave credentials of a domain account and the error did not come. And remember to give permission to the database.
