Remove SP User from SharePoint subsite

Hello All,
I am trying to remove a user account form all sub sites except few.
I am making use of following command.
Remove-SPUser "Contoso\jdoe" -web http://webapp/sites/site1/web1/
But this command is removing the user from all the sub sites including the site collection.
Can anybody please help to delete the user from specific subsite only.
Thanks & Regards

Unable to remove user from SharePoint Group using PowerShell

I am trying to remove a user from a SharePoint Group using PowerShell.
I can see the user in the Site Collection as part of the SharePoint Group, however, when I attempt to run the script, I get an error message stating "Can not find the user with ID: 10"
Below is the PowerShell script that I am using:
$url = "https://sharepointdev.spfarm.spcorp.com/sites/desitecoll"
$userName = "spfarm\sp2013_svc"
#$userName = "spfarm\spprofileimport";
$site = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite($url)
$web = $site.OpenWeb()
$siteGroups = $web.SiteGroups;
Clear-Host
$mySiteGroups = @();
foreach($group in $siteGroups)
Write-Host $group
$mySiteGroups += $group;
}#foreach
$members = $web.SiteGroups[$mySiteGroups[0]];
$owners = $web.SiteGroups[$mySiteGroups[1]];
$visitors = $web.SiteGroups[$mySiteGroups[2]];
#Remove the user from the specified SharePoint Group
$spUser = Get-SPUser -Identity $userName -Web $url
Write-Host $spUser.ID
Remove-SPUser -Identity $spUser -Web $url -Group $owners
$web.Update();
$web.Dispose();
Write-Host "User " $userName "removed from " $owners
Please advise.

I had to update the code to the following because Get-SPUser was not working properly:
$url = "https://sharepointdev.spfarm.spcorp.com/sites/desitecoll"
$userName = "spfarm\spprofileimport";
$site = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite($url)
$web = $site.OpenWeb()
$siteGroups = $web.Groups;
Clear-Host
$mySiteGroups = @();
foreach($group in $siteGroups)
Write-Host $group
$mySiteGroups += $group;
}#foreach
$members = $web.Groups[$mySiteGroups[0]];
$owners = $web.Groups[$mySiteGroups[1]];
$visitors = $web.Groups[$mySiteGroups[2]];
#Convert the user name to an SPUser account
$spUser = $web.Site.RootWeb.EnsureUser($userName);
Write-Host $spUser.ID
Remove-SPUser -Identity $spUser -Web $url -Group $owners
$web.Update();
$web.Dispose();
Write-Host "User " $userName "removed from " $owners
Was I not using Get-SPUser correctly?

Remove users from Sharepoint site security group

I have to close a share point 2007 site for all users for an update. I don't have access to CA. the easiest approach is to remove the users from security group and add them back when the site modification is done. All users all under "NT/Aunthenticated
users" and they are in Members group. I'm just wondering will it cause any issues when adding them back or it can be done in 1 click. Do i need any tweaks from CA side to add them back?
Any response is appreciated.
Thanks!

Once you add the users back to the site, it should work as expected.
>>Do i need any tweaks from CA side to add them back?
No i believe, because you are changing the permissions at site level.

Shared Services 11.1.2 Unable to remove assigned user from a security group

In Shared Services 11.1.2 - trying to remove a user from the assigned users list of a security group. Initially, I am able to remove the user and the assigned users total decreases by one - but when I relaunch the group properties - this user is still in there? The change does not hold. Any suggestions would be appreciated - thanks,
Paul

Hello Paul,
Not sure if this is related to yours, but it might be worth having a look at the following articles on Oracle support --
External users in EPM Shared Services (e.g. MSAD users) cannot be removed from Native groups if they have multiple IDs in the external user directory. [ID 1526569.1]
Users from External User Directories Cannot be Removed from Native Groups [ID 1272309.1]

Removing a User From SAP and Webtools

I have recently removed a user from SAP which was a user from webtools
i removed their license and removed them from webtools
My issue is that i now have a Sync Error
-10:Selected user was deleted
   at NetPoint.SynchSBO.WebToolsChildObjects.AccountUser.SynchOUSR(NPUser u)
   at NetPoint.SynchSBO.WebToolsChildObjects.AccountUser.NetPointToSBO(NPQueueObject qData)
   at NetPoint.SynchSBO.SynchObjectBase.Synch()
What can i do to remove this error?
Please notify.
all answers and suggestions will be greatly appreciated

User probably still exists in WebTools. Try to find & remove it.
If this doesn't help, you can remove user from synchronization queue:
1. run SynchManager
2. on page Synchronization click on tab Web tools Queue
3. find row with 'Name' equal NPUser; click on number in column 'Fail'
4. select row containing error message
5. press <Delete>
6. run synchronization

Cannot remove deleted user from people picker - SharePoint Foundation 2010

So I think I've read all the people picker articles here and I can't find a solution so I thought I'd start a new thread. Here is the issue:
A user was deleted from Active Directory and removed from SharePoint Foundation 2010. The user was still showing in the People Picker within the site collection, so we have performed a few things to try and get rid of this user.
User is deleted from AD
User is deleted from SharePoint Site Collection
Have tried stsadm -o deleteuser
Have removed all mention of this user from UserInfo table
User does NOT show in
https://<SiteCollectionURL/_layouts/people.aspx?MembershipGroupId=0
Cannot find any mention of this user anywhere.
Ran a full crawl as we read on a forum somewhere that it might help.
If I try and add the user back to SharePoint I get "The user does not exist or is not unique"
If I try "stsadm -o deleteuser -userlogin DOMAIN\USER -url https://<sitecollectionurl>" I get "The user does not exist or is not unique"
I am not sure what else I can try now. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Vinny

No other domain trusts that this user could be in.
Just so everyone can stop with the warnings, we do NOT regularly delete users from the UserInfo table and fully are aware of the problems behind it, which is why it is so rarely done. But at times, you have to do what you have to do to help a customer, you
know? This one user is the only one that was removed from the UserInfo table, but there are a few other users that are also deleted (from SharePoint, not manually from UserInfo) that are still showing as well. This one user included.
There MUST be another place that the people picker gets it's information from. ALL of the user's old information still shows in the people picker (username, email address, display name), and yet none of that information exists anywhere other than in the
People Picker. Mailbox is gone from Exchange, User deleted from SharePoint, User deleted from Active Directory. Is there no cache someone could point me towards that People Picker might store information in.

Powershell script for removing some users from a particular Site Collection

Hi,
I am looking for a PowerShell script to delete a few users from a particular Site Collection. I am unable to delete them from/_catalogs/Users/simple.aspx page therefore need some other medium to
delete users from the site collection.
My ultimate aim is to have no user profile with "tp_deleted" field's value as 0 in the USERINFO table. Currently there are about 40 odd users with this field's value as 0 and this is affecting my crawling of this content database.

Thanks for the reply Alex & eHaze,
I have a content source of root site which crawls all the site collections under it. Out of the 9 site collections, only 8 are getting crawled and 1 doesn't get crawled at all. The error in the crawl logs is
The SharePoint item being crawled returned an error when requesting data from the web service. ( Error from SharePoint site: Value does not fall within the expected range. )
I tried a lot of things, searched over the net and finally found
this which helped me solve the same issue in my development environment. I deleted these users from userInfo table and ran a full crawl. And the issue was fixed.
Now since I cannot delete the users from userInfo table directly from PROD environment, I used .../_catalogs/Users/simple.aspx list
to delete users from this site collection. While some of the users I could delete, quite a few I could not. Clicking on the profile redirected me to the home page rather than the info page of the profile.
This
is why I have to delete these users from the site collection.
Alex - the link you shared, I guess it is for a web application level.
eHaze - the script you shared throws this error:
Get-SPSite : Cannot find an SPSite object with Id or Url: http://dev-apps/divisions/BT. At C:\PowerShell Scripts\DeleteUserFromSiteCollection1.ps1:4 char:19

hope this info helps.

Looking for Help with Active Directory Script to Remove a User from msExchDelegateListLink

I'm struggling to put together an Active Directory Powershell script that will remove a specific user from the msExchDelegateListLink.
It looks like Set-AdUser would do the trick. I would want to remove a user in the format of
{CN=Wood\, Sandy,OU=Networking,OU=IT,DC=my,DC=domain,DC=com}
Has anyone succeeded in doing this before?
Orange County District Attorney

I use this:
$user = '<user name>'
$userDN = Get-ADUser $user | select -ExpandProperty DistinguishedName
$delegates = Get-ADUser $user -Properties msExchDelegateListBL |
select -ExpandProperty msExchDelegateListBL
foreach ($delegate in $delegates)
Set-ADUser $delegate -Remove @{msExchDelegateListLink = "$UserDN"}
Never quite got around to putting it into a function.

Adding Users from sharepoint into Active Directory Groups

I have a requirement for Approval Workflow where the Approved User gets added to AD group directly,i think 2 way sync is possible.plz help

Out of the box, I really doubt that this is possible BUT it can more than likely be achieved via the Object Model. A good discussion and some attached code can be seen here.

HT204266 how do I remove a user from app store

The app store will not allow me to update my apps without updating a user that was the previous owner of the laptop. How do I remove this person from the computer etc.

If you mean an iTunes store id then Settings > Store - touch the id on the right and select sign-out from the popup. You can also do it via the bottom of the Feature tab in the App Store app. If you have any apps on the iPad that were downloaded/installed via that id then you may want to delete them - if updates for them ever appear in the App Store then you will only be able to update them via the id that was used to buy them (apps are linked to the account id, not to the device that they are on)
