Solution

Make sure you have set both ucr varaibles:

ucr info ad/reset/username
ad/reset/username: <empty>
 Username, which is used in the self-service to change password in active directory environments.
 Categories: self-service

ucr info ad/reset/password
ad/reset/password: <empty>
 Path to a file which contains the password for the active directory user from ad/reset/username.
 Categories: self-service

The user have to be a member of “Domain Admins”, or similarly highly privileged.
