Remove a User Account

Updated: March 30, 2011

Applies To: Windows Home Server 2011

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 Home Server 2011 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
