I am running a batch file for creating new users in the Active Dir

I am running a batch file for creating new users in the Active Directory
using dsadd command, as a schedule task and it gives an error in the log file
as "The task completed with an exit code of (1), and the users are not
created. I am running on a Domain Controller

I have a user created as NSUser and made it a member of Domain Users and
Account Operators, and using this account to run the schedule task.

But when I make the NSUser a member of Administrators group the task runs
successfull without any errors and the user accounts are created using the
batch file.

 

I'm not sure if Account Operators group is allowed to log on locally on a
Domain Controller. But Server Operators group and Backup Operators group is.
You can make NSUser a member of both Account Operators and Server Operators
and try to run your scheduled task.

Re: I am running a batch file for creating new users in the Active

Dusko:

I tried adding Server Operators it didn't work then I added Backup Operators
it didn't work.
Then I remove both of them and added the Administrators group and then it
worked as before.

I running this schedule task on Domain Controller, and the settings on the
schedule task are as shown below:

Run: C:\Data\UDist.bat
Start in: C:\Data
Run as: D214\NSUser

Re: I am running a batch file for creating new users in the Active

Ikram,

Is D214 the name of your server (DC) or the name of your domain?
If it's server name then this may be the problem.

Let's try to recap:
1. You created domain user NSUser.
2. You added NSUser to 'Account Operators'
3. You log on locally to your domain controller using NSUser account.
4. You create a new user account using 'dsadd' command. The command runs
successfully.

If all the steps run successfully, then the scheduled task should also run
successfuly.
