A. Windows Server 2003's Dsrm command lets you remove objects from AD. The command syntax is
dsrm <distinguished name (DN) of object to delete>
For example, to delete a user named piggy, you'd type
C:\>dsrm CN=piggy,CN=Users,DC=it,DC=uk,DC=savilltech,DC=com
The computer will ask you to confirm the deletion:
Are you sure you wish to delete CN=piggy,CN=Users,DC=it,DC=uk,DC=savilltech,DC=com (Y/N)? y
If you answer "y", the computer will return the following response:
dsrm succeeded:CN=piggy,CN=Users,DC=it,DC=uk,DC=savilltech,DC=com
To avoid being prompted to confirm the deletion, you can append "-noprompt" (without the quotes) to the end of the command string.
