Set User Status activity not working (Active Directory)

Hi UiPath Devs,

Facing a strange issue with Set User Status activity in Active Directory

Active Directory Scope activity - Works fine with the provided credentials
Get User Status activity - Works fine and shows the ActiveStatus and LockStatus
Set User Status activity - Neither unlocks the user nor throws an exception. Basically it does nothing, the user remains locked.

PS: Tried with Powershell with the same credentials and it works perfectly. In built Set User Status activity is not working. Anyone else facing something similar?
