Remove domain user from "Remote Desktop User" localgroupmember with Powershell

Question

Hi,

We have added on the local machine with Computer Management a domain user to local group of "Remote Desktop User" manually. Now I want to remove it per PowerShell on all machines.

Remove-LocalGroupMember -Group "Remote Desktop Users" -Member "username"

with above command line I have to put the "username" , is there any command line without putting the username?

-Name $username

Regards

Hi @PerserPolis-1732 ,

to delete *David*from the Remote Desktop Users you can try this:

$user2Remove = "David"  
$localGroup = "Remote Desktop Users"  
Get-LocalGroupMember -Group $localGroup | ForEach-Object {  
  if ($_.Name -match $user2Remove) {  
    Remove-LocalGroupMember -Group $localGroup -Member $_  
  }  
}

Answer 2

Put the user name into a file. Read the content of the file into a variable and use the variable in place of the quoted "username" literal.

Answer 3

I don't know what do you mean. Could you please give me a example?

Answer 4

Something like this:

$usernames = "Peter", "Paul", "Marry"
$localGroup = "Remote Desktop Users"
$usernames | ForEach-Object {
  Remove-LocalGroupMember -Group $localGroup -Member $_
}
