How Do I Remove a Domain User From Windows 10?

You can remove a domain user from Windows 10 using the Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC) console.

Steps to Remove a Domain User

1. Open ADUC:
   • Press Windows Key + R to open the Run dialog box.
   • Type dsa.msc and press Enter.
2. Locate the User:
   • Navigate to the Users container in the left pane.
   • Find the user you want to remove.
3. Delete the User:
   • Right-click the user and select Delete.
   • Confirm the deletion by clicking Yes in the pop-up window.

Important Considerations

• User Data: Deleting a user account does not automatically delete their files or data stored on the network. You may need to manually delete these files or transfer them to another user's account.
• Group Membership: The user might be a member of various groups. Ensure you understand the potential consequences of removing the user from these groups before proceeding.
• User Permissions: Check if the user has any special permissions or access rights that need to be revoked before deleting the account.

Example

Let's say you want to remove a user named "John Doe" from your domain. You would follow these steps:

1. Open ADUC.
2. Go to the Users container.
3. Find "John Doe" in the list of users.
4. Right-click on "John Doe" and select Delete.
5. Confirm the deletion by clicking Yes.
