DESCRIPTION


The Remove-ADComputerServiceAccount cmdlet removes service accounts from an Active Directory computer.


The Computer parameter specifies the Active Directory computer that contains the service accounts to remove. You can identify a computer by
its distinguished name (DN), GUID, security identifier (SID) or Security Accounts Manager (SAM) account name. You can also set the Computer
parameter to a computer object variable, such as $<localComputerobject>, or pass a computer object through the pipeline to the Computer
parameter. For example, you can use the Get-ADComputer cmdlet to retrieve a computer object and then pass the object through the pipeline to
the Remove-ADComputerServiceAccount cmdlet.


The ServiceAccount parameter specifies the service accounts to remove. You can identify a service account by its distinguished name (DN),
GUID, security identifier (SID) or security accounts manager (SAM) account name. You can also specify service account object variables, such
as $<localServiceAccountObject>. If you are specifying more than one service account, use a comma-separated list.
