Question:

If I run the vbscrip provided by Microsoft that should resolve the issue, right?

Hello Steven,

Expected behaviour, because lower level users are not allowed to unlock higher level ones or change them.

See here about AdminSDholder:

To All:

Windows accounts with Domain Admins rights can only be unlocked by
Domain Admins.

Our Help Desk personnels can unlock any accounts but the ones with
Domain Admins rights.

Under security settings, the Help Desk has Full Control to User
objects, don't have the ability to unlock Domain Admin accounts.

I've read an article from MS about this issue, but unable to locate
it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated it.

Steven
