Trouble using CSF file to disable apc account

[BrianBuchanan]

I'm having trouble using a csf file to mass configure user and user preferences FA176542 to disable the apc super user account.

I'm experiencing this problem on an older AP8841 PDU (with AP9538 NMC2 running rpdu2g 7.0.8), but the same csf works fine on a newer AP8841 with 0N-1570 NMC3.

My apc.csf is simply:

user -n apc -cp {currentpassword} -e disable

The event log states:

Invalid parameter in CLI script file apc.csf on Line 1

I'm wondering if it's a bug in the 7.0.8 firmware?

A difference between NMC2 and NMC3 is that NMC2 prompts for confirmation when disabling the hard-coded user and NMC3 doesn't.  My guess is that the prompt occurs to the .csf and it fails because it's non-interactive.  It's looking like a bug and I've opened a case with support.
