    How to remove old domain account with disconnect button grayed out?


    I have tried numerous things and so far nothing has worked. The disconnect button is grayed out and under the local admin account under work or school the accounts aren't even listed there. Is there a registry fix or something that I can run in powershell that will allow these accounts to be purged from the system without having to create a whole new profile and drop from the current entra domain?

    :)

    Remove account

    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
    To delete an account, follow these steps:
    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

    UnattendedJoin error: failed to find the domain data (0x6e)

    Thanks for the suggestion! I don't want to add a domain account, as this is a generic unattended install that will be used for all company machines. Do you think it's possible that the computer would join the domain if, instead of using UnattendedJoin in specialize, I used your steps but left out the specific account? The other thing I was thinking was to use a generic account to allow the domain join during the specialize step. I added a machine password in the UnattendedJoin component, and instead of getting the error listed above, I got an authentication error, which makes me think I could probably do a secure join instead of the unsecure join. Thoughts?
