Remove/Disable Local Accounts Except Administrator in Powershell

Question

Guys, I need help.

Which powershell command do I use to remove/disable all local accounts (Windows 10). Leaving only the Administrator account active.

Hi @Gustavo Lorenzett ,

you can try this:

# Disable all local users with name not equal "Administrator"  
Get-LocalUser | Where-Object {$_.Name -ne "Administrator"} | Disable-LocalUser -WhatIf  
# Delete all local users with name not equal "Administrator"  
Get-LocalUser | Where-Object {$_.Name -ne "Administrator"} | Remove-LocalUser -WhatIf  

If you execute one of the lines (line 2 or 4) it will show what will happen and which users will be disabled/deleted.
If the result fits your requirement just delete the -WhatIf at the end of the line and execute the line again.
