Detailed Description

The Uninstall-ADServiceAccount cmdlet removes an Active Directory service account on the computer on which the cmdlet is run. The specified service account must be installed on the computer.

The Identity parameter specifies the Active Directory service account to uninstall. 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 set the parameter to a service account object variable, such as $<localServiceAccountObject> or pass a service account object through the pipeline to the Identity parameter. For example, you can use the Get-ADServiceAccount to get a service account object and then pass that object through the pipeline to the Uninstall-ADServiceAccount cmdlet.

Identity

Specifies an Active Directory account object by providing one of the following property values. The identifier in parentheses is the LDAP display name for the attribute.

Distinguished Name
Example: CN=WebAccount,CN=ManagedServiceAccounts,DC=corp,DC=contoso,DC=com
GUID (objectGUID)
Example: 599c3d2e-f72d-4d20-8a88-030d99495f20

SAM Account Name (sAMAccountName)
Example: WebAccount$

The cmdlet searches the default naming context or partition to find the object. If two or more objects are found, the cmdlet returns a non-terminating error.

This parameter can also get this object through the pipeline or you can set this parameter to an object instance.

This example shows how to set the parameter to a distinguished name.
-Identity "CN=WebAccount,CN=ManagedServiceAccounts,DC=corp,DC=contoso,DC=com"

This example shows how to set this parameter to an account object instance named "AccountInstance".
