HowTo delete specific local user

With

Code:

$objComputer = GetObject("WinNT://"+@WKSTA)
$objComputer.Filter = "User",""
For Each $objUser in $objComputer
  ? 'User: '+$objUser.Name
Next

I get a list of local users.
How can I delete a specific local user if found in this list?

I tried

Code:

$objComputer = GetObject("WinNT://"+@WKSTA)
$objComputer.Filter = "User",""
For Each $objUser in $objComputer
  if $objUser.Name = "<unwanted_user>"
    ? "Unwanted User detected, trying to delete..."
    $objUser.Delete "User","<unwanted_user>"
  EndIf
Next

But that did not work.

Any ideas?

Kindest regards,
Christian...

Try this:

Code:

$objComputer = GetObject("WinNT://"+@WKSTA)
$arrFilter[0] = "User"
$objComputer.Filter = $arrFilter
For Each $objUser in $objComputer
  ? $objUser.Name
  if $objUser.Name = "unwanted"
    ? "Unwanted User detected, trying to delete..."
    $objUser.Delete
  EndIf
Next

CBrosius CBrosius Fresh Scripter Registered: 2011-04-04 Posts: 6 Loc: Germany	Changed your suggestion to: Code: $objComputer = GetObject("WinNT://"+@WKSTA) $arrFilter[0] = "User" $objComputer.Filter = $arrFilter For Each $objUser in $objComputer if $objUser.Name = "unwanted" ? $objUser.Name ? "Unwanted User detected, trying to delete..." $objUser.Delete EndIf Next and the user gets detected. There is no error message, but the local user is not deleted.

"Unwanted User detected, trying to delete..." $objUser.Delete ? @ERROR ? @SERROR EndIf Next _________________________ Mart - Chuck Norris once sold ebay to ebay on ebay.

CBrosius CBrosius Fresh Scripter Registered: 2011-04-04 Posts: 6 Loc: Germany	Ok, I moved a little bit forward. if using Code: $objLocal = GetObject("WinNT://localhost") $objLocal.Delete("user","unwanted") ? @ERROR ? @SERROR and running with local admin everything is working.
