Resolution
Can the account under which the scheduled tasks that Directory and Resource Administrator runs using the NT Task Scheduler be changed?
fact
Directory and Resource Administrator 6.x
fix
By default, the jobs that Directory and Resource Administrator (DRA) runs using the NT Task Scheduler run under the security context of the Local System account. You can change the account that these jobs run under, however every time the scheduled job runs, DRA deletes and then recreates the scheduled task. So, changing the job to use a different account will only pertain to the next time the job is run. Once the job is run, DRA will recreate the task and then set the account under which it runs back to the Local System account. Details about the jobs that DRA runs using the task scheduler can be found in the following knowledge base article:

note
The jobs handled by using the NT Task Scheduler in Directory and Resource Administrator (DRA) 6.x will now be handled by the Accounts Provider in DRA 7.0, which will remove the dependency on the NT Task Scheduler.
