Answer 1

The issue is that the Portal Installation has an integrated DB2 setup which tries to add users to Domain instead of the Local Machine. In order to fix this, create an user in the local system and add the user to these user groups - Administrator, DB2ADMNS and DB2USERS.

Steps to add user:

1. Type lusrmgr.msc from command prompt.
2. Add User from "Local Users and Groups > Users" tab.
3. Add User to Administrator, DB2ADMNS and DB2USERS groups from "Local Users and Groups > Groups" tab.

Thanks @mao for the clue.
