The Remove-ADComputer cmdlet removes an Active Directory computer. The Identity parameter specifies the Active Directory computer to remove. You can identify a computer by its distinguished name, GUID, security identifier (SID), or Security Accounts Manager (SAM) account name. You can also set the Identity parameter to a computer object variable, such as $<localComputerobject>, or you can pass a computer object through the pipeline to the Identity parameter. For example, you can use the Get-ADComputer cmdlet to retrieve a computer object and then pass the object through the pipeline to the Remove-ADComputer cmdlet.
