Simple API call to delete any user account on the network. I think you need to be admin to do so... infact, its very likely you have to be :)
You need to know:
1. Machine name (ie. \\jon) 2. Username (ie. the_cleaner)
Enjoy! :)
VBcoders'PASTE THE FOLLOWING INTO A FORM
'YOU NEED A COMMAND BUTTON NAMED
'COMMAND1
Option Explicit
Private Declare Function NetUserDel Lib "NETAPI32.DLL" (ByVal servername As String, ByVal userName As String) As Long
Private Sub Command1_Click()
On Error GoTo error
Dim r As Long
Dim sServer As String
Dim sUser As String
sServer = StrConv("\\jon", vbUnicode) ' CHANGE THESE TO YOUR SELECTED USER AND SERVER
sUser = StrConv("the_cleaner", vbUnicode) ' CHANGE THESE TO YOUR SELECTED USER AND SERVER
r = NetUserDel(sServer, sUser)
If r <> 0 Then
MsgBox "Delete user failed. Ensure: " & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
"o The server name was correct and started with '\\'" & _
"o You have admin rights for that server (I think :)" & _
"o The username you specified was valid", vbCritical, "Error: " & r
Else
MsgBox "User deleted!", vbExclamation, "Success"
End If
Exit Sub
error:
MsgBox "External error deleteing user: " & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & Err.Description, vbCritical, "Error: " & Err.Number
End Sub
