Title:
  Broken domain adminstrator check on ubiquity installer for AD join

Status in Ubuntu MATE:
  New
Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Using the latest Ubuntu MATE 22.04.1 ISO released a couple of days
  ago...

  See photo.jpg attached...

  At the screen 'Configure Active Directory' I enter in a valid 'Domain
  Administrator' username... and it thinks it must start with a lower-
  case letter and doesn't like the $ dollar sign at the beginning.

  Don't ask me why (as I didn't set it up) but at the company where I
  work... we have AD accounts specifically for administrator functions
  and these are prefixed with a dollar sign.  It does not appear to be
  (in anyway) a contravention the rules for naming AD users... so the
  validation check on ubiquity must be wrong.
