Delete All Users from Specific OU Using PowerShell

To remove all users from the specific OU, we need to first retrieve the users from that OU. For example, we have 3 users in the OU called LABDOMAIN and we need to delete them all.

Get-ADUser -SearchBase "OU=LabUsers,DC=labdomain,DC=local" -Filter *

The above command will retrieve users from the specific OU and then we can use the Remove-ADUser command to delete them all.

Example

Get-ADUser -SearchBase "OU=LabUsers,DC=labdomain,DC=local" -Filter * | Remove-ADUser -Confirm:$false -Verbose

-Confirm switch has been added to bypass the confirmation for all the users. The default confirmation is true.

Output

VERBOSE: Performing the operation "Remove" on target "CN=JensonA,OU=LabUsers,DC=labdomain,DC=local". VERBOSE: Performing the operation "Remove" on target "CN=ChrisT,OU=LabUsers,DC=labdomain,DC=local". VERBOSE: Performing the operation "Remove" on target "CN=ChiragN,OU=LabUsers,DC=labdomain,DC=local".
