Yes, you can replace the service account with a dMSA. This process would require:

1. Reconfiguring the service to use the new dMSA account.
1. Retiring the old service account.
1. Enable the use of the dMSA on the target server
2. Creating a new dMSA account.
3. Using PowerShell, add the machine account manually to the PrincipalsAllowedToRetrieveManagedPassword attribute of the dMSA account
4. Reconfiguring the service to use the new dMSA account.
5. Retiring the old service account.
