It resets the computer account. If you do this, that computer won't be able to connect to the domain until you rejoin it to the domain.
You would have numerous problems accessing domain resources from that computer until it was rejoined.

I'm not getting answers to my question. Look carefully at my question gang: I want to know what the reset command "does." I'm not looking for how-to steps for this or that. I simply want to know what all the rest command does, in as much depth as you can provide please. Thanks.
It resets the account in AD. Are you looking for APIs? WHAT? It's pretty basic. What are you confused about in our comments.
