SUM updating problem. Error code 80040401.

Server OS: Windows 2008 x64
Enterprise Console version 5.4.0 (installed 22/06/2016), but the problems began before the update.

Error code 80040401 in SOPHOS_SERVER update manager details with description "Software Update fails".
It links to : https://www.sophos.com/en-us/support/knowledgebase/66111.aspx... but it's not a problem with my licence.
The credentials haven't change and we are subscribed until 2020.

Searching for the problem on Google linked to :
https://community.sophos.com/products/endpoint-security-control/f/3/t/5932

I looked at the latest MSI log file in %windir% \temp and I foud this weird entry :

 Info 25051.Failed to load the security ID for username or group SophosUpdateMgr on logon domain SOPHOS_SERVER.

SOPHOS_SERVER isn't the name of our domain, but we have a domain account SophosUpdateMgr that serves as the account to update our endpoints.

My application log file is full of those events. Any advice on how to fix that problem?
