Allows deletion of selected items from the Active Directory database and related data from the file system.
The deletion is immediate and irreversible, so after this command is executed the items can no longer be recovered.
NOTE: Using this command is not recommended for planned user deletion, such as for turnover reasons or when employees leave the company. Under these conditions it is necessary to first notify users of the deletion of accounts and/or their personal data and track the processes. To do this, it is recommended to prepare an appropriate Active Directory Exit Strategy. This can be done through the ADOne Agent application.
