Remove a user account

Applies To: Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Essentials

Note

Use this procedure to manage user accounts that were created using the Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Essentials Dashboard. If the computer running Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Essentials is joined to a domain, you must log on to the domain controller to manage the domain users.

When you choose to remove a user account from the server, a wizard deletes the selected account. Because of this, you can no longer use the account to log on to the network or to access any of the network resources. If you do not want to permanently remove the user account, you can deactivate the account instead to temporarily suspend access to network resources.

To remove a user account

  1. Open the Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Essentials Dashboard.

  2. On the main navigation bar, click Users.

  3. In the list of user accounts, select the user account that you want to remove.

  4. In the <User Account> Tasks pane, click Remove the user account. The Delete a User Account Wizard appears.

  5. Click Delete account.

Note

After you remove a user account, the account no longer appears in the list of user accounts
