I am creating a script that should be able to delete a specified Active Directory User. If no user is specified then it will prompt before deleting all users. If the user name is misspelled then it will error and say “User not found” I have the script here but it wont let me search a user for deletion by username, it only lets me use their first name which can be problem some for a bigger business. I also cant get the script to delete all the users. I am having a hard time finding someone who can help me. I’ve been working on this so long I dream about it. I honestly don’t know what I am doing wrong. Please help me. Thank you
