Need script to delete list of AD accounts
I have a text file of several hundred usernames that need to be deleted from
Active Directory. These users are scattered among several OUs, but they are all located in the same domain. Is there a way in vbs I can delete these accounts? If not, are there any 3rd party applications that can do this? Thanks! "D.P.

might have had, like, should they be deleted as well? /Al Show quote "D.P.

I have a separate script to delete home directories but if you know of
a solution that does both I'm all ears. Thanks.

alone. If you wanted to do it from the account deletion script, you would need to be using an account that had sufficient rights on all servers where home folders might be located to un-share them (if shared) and then delete. Sorry, but I don't have the code, and no need for a bulk delete script anyway. /Al Show quote "D.P.
