Unknown Error while running quickstart tool

While running the FIM quickstart tool I get an error while trying to verify the container.
Any Ideas what is causing this?

VERBOSE: Verifying the forest and account
VERBOSE: Verifying the container
invoke-quickstart : Unknown error (0x80005000)
At line:1 char:1

did you specified parameters? it seems that you haven't specified Container parameter.

usage of invoke-quickconfig is:

Invoke-QuickStart Container <String> -DatabaseName <String> -DatabaseServer <String> -ForefrontIdentityManagerServiceBaseAddress <String> -Forest <String> -ActiveDirectoryManagementAgentCredential <PSCredential> -ForefrontIdentityManagerManagementAgentCredential <PSCredential> [-RunInitialLoad [<Boolean>]] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]

Yes all parameters where defined. In fact if I change the OU I get an OU not found error.
