Powershell DSC - xSQLServerInstall - Fails When Using Domain Service Accounts

Question

I'm using the xSQLServerInstall  from
http://www.powershellmagazine.com/2014/02/09/desired-state-configuration-dsc-resource-kit-wave-2/ which I've modified to accept parameters for the SQL Server service account and the SQL Agent service account.  The script runs to the point where it
validates the service accounts, then fails with an error saying it can't find the account.  I'm running it in Powershell ISE as Administrator.  When I run ISE under my own credentials the script fails sooner saying I lack permissions even though
I'm a local admin.  Any thoughts?

When I open ISE using the "Run as Administrator" option I get this error in ISE:
PowerShell DSC resource MSFT_xSqlServerInstall  failed to execute Set-TargetResource functionality with error message: SQL
Server installation did not succeed. For more details please refer to the logs under C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
