We’ve been using cloud-based Active Directory through Office 365 for our Windows-based clients. It simplifies adding user accounts to Windows workstations because it’s authenticating with their Office 365 credentials.

When an account fails or needs to be removed from a workstation, it’s not so straightforward. Going to Account Settings or User Accounts in Control Panel only shows local users, and not Active Directory accounts.

Go to Control Panel | System | Advanced System Settings. Click on Settings under User Profiles and delete the profile.
