I just tried that myself and that's what I see:

*** Info: This script plans to use 'cyg_server'.
*** Info: 'cyg_server' will only be used by registered services.
*** Query: Do you want to use a different name? (yes/no) no
*** Query: Create new privileged user account 'VMBERT8164\cyg_server' (Cygwin name: 'vmbert8164+cyg_server')? (yes/no)

See that the Cygwin username is "vmbert8164+cyg_server"?  That's the
expected result on a dmain member machine.

Sorry, I don't see how it's possible that the csih script came up with
"cyg_server" alone in your case, unless it's a domain controller.
In theory, this piece of code in
/usr/share/csih/cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh does the trick:

Function csih_select_privileged_username(), line 2869ff:

    csih_PRIVILEGED_USERNAME="${username}"
    if ! csih_use_file_etc "passwd"
    then
      # This test succeeds on domain member machines only, not on DCs.
      if [ "\\\\${COMPUTERNAME,,*}" != "${LOGONSERVER,,*}" ]
      then
        # Lowercase of USERDOMAIN
        csih_PRIVILEGED_USERNAME="${COMPUTERNAME,,*}+${username}"
      fi
    fi
    csih_PRIVILEGED_USERDOMAIN="${COMPUTERNAME}"
    csih_PRIVILEGED_USERWINNAME="${username}"

The only reason this didn't work would be if the test

      if [ "\\\\${COMPUTERNAME,,*}" != "${LOGONSERVER,,*}" ]

didn't have the desired result, but I don't see why that would occur.
Any chance you can find out what happened in your scenario?
environment?


Thanks,
Corinna
