Script to disable/enable a user

[madmax2]

Hi,

I need a script/batch file that I can click to quickly

enable/disable a user.

How can I do this?

A one-liner bat file can do that pretty easy. This will do the trick:

To enable a user:

net user username /active:yes

To disable it:

net user username /active:no

Where username is the username to enable/disable.
This requires administrator permission to succeed.

Some reference can be found here:
Enable or Disable user account from command line (CMD)

yeah i saw that command when i did a google search previously.

It works but only when I run the command inside a command prompt
or calling the batch file in the command prompt.

It doesn't work when I doubt click the batch file.

Can u upload a batch file that allows me to doubt click and run it in explorer?

That line is the whole bat file required to do it, there isn't anything more to it. It works the very same way in the command prompt or in a bat file or in any other way you invoke it.

Remember you must be administrator for it to succeed. Otherwise you'll be greeted by an access denied error. Of course you must run the bat file as administrator, in the very same way you likely did at the command prompt.
