Brilliant thank you that works!<br />
<br />
For anyone reading this who needs to know the exact procedure, I used Delegation Wizard in AD to give the server account permissions to &quot;create, delete and manage user accounts&quot; on the OU containing the user account.<br />
<br />
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

For anyone reading this who needs to know the exact procedure, I used Delegation Wizard in AD to give the server account permissions to "create, delete and manage user accounts" on the OU containing the user account.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I am trying to setup a powershell script to run as a scheduled task that disables an AD account every evening.<br />
<br />
Disable-ADAccount -Identity &lt;UserName&gt;<br />
<br />
The above script works when run manually, but not as a scheduled task. &nbsp;So far I have tried running this under the System account on both the DC (server 2008 R2) and another member server (server 2012 R2) but although they say &quot;Task Completed&quot; in the history, the account remains enabled. &nbsp;To clarify, the settings are here <a href="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2017/04_w14/1154619/1.JPG" target="_blank" title="General (51 KB)"><img alt="General" class="file-block lazyload" style="max-width: 603px;" data-src="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2017/04_w14/1154619/1.JPG" /></a><a href="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2017/04_w14/1154620/2.JPG" target="_blank" title="Actions (37 KB)"><img alt="Actions" class="file-block lazyload" style="max-width: 471px;" data-src="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2017/04_w14/1154620/2.JPG" /></a><br />
I have also tried running it as myself, but get the error that I need &quot;Log on as batch right&quot; permissions<br />
<br />
So my question is what do I need to do to get this working? &nbsp;And is it better to run it from the DC or the other server?<br />
<br />
Thanks for your help
