Remove local admins

Avatar
chris.jones2

Hi All, I'm looking to remove certain local admins from certain computers. Currently, I use the script below from PowerShell, but I'm looking to use PDQ to remove. It's only certain users that I'm looking to remove

Any suggestions welcome.

Many thanks

\server\PSTools\PsExec.exe \computer net localgroup Administrators Jim /delete

    You have the solution directly in front of you.

    enter image description here

    Put in all unwanted local admin names in a cmd step and run this deployment against all workstations

    PS: don't be confused, your spelling "administrators" is right for your script, my spelling "administratoren" it's the german version.

    Example?

    All i see is a local user account called "admin.local"

    You can remove him with:

    net localgroup Administrators admin.local /delete
