xSPSearchServiceApp SDDL string error in standalone install

In my standalone SharePoint 2013 environments, I’m receiving this error when creating the Search Service Application:

The SDDL string contains an invalid sid or a sid that cannot be translated

According to this article it looks like this is a known issue in standalone installations. However; after I followed the steps outlined in the article to resolve the error, subsequent executions of the DSC resource gave these error messages:

Invoke-DscResource : Exception calling ".ctor" with "1" argument(s): "searchContext"

and

Invoke-DscResource : Exception calling ".ctor" with "2" argument(s): "Cannot process argument because the value of argument "userName" is not valid. Change the value of the "userName" argument and run the operation again."

When I look at the server, the service application is created, but it doesn’t have a proxy and is in an error status.

Thanks @avishnyakov - will get the code updated accordingly.
