    Hi,

    I want to move specific AD objects based on a few particular criteria s, When I run Move-ADObject command at powershell it returns an error which contains : Access Denied.

    However I managed to fix the problem with a temporary solution which is disabling protecting object from accidental deletion. Is there any other solution to achieve this process without disabling the following check-box? It is quite risky to disable the accidental deletion.

    Regard.

    This is a scripting forum.  It is no a place to ask questions about how to use AD.  Please post in AD forum.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Hi,

    If the Protect from Accidental Deletion option is enabled on the OU to be moved, you will get “Access denied” message when you attempt to perform Move-ADObject operation. That is by design.

    You can just disable the "protect from accidental deletion" option temporarily, before you perform the operation, if you really need to do this.
