asked on "Remove-Computer" or "Remove-ADComputer" - which is best?
I'm using Windows Server 2012 R2 - trying to remove a computer from a domain using PowerShell.
Which command is best, and how are the results different?
1. Remove-ADComputer -Identity "Server01"
(See https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee617250.aspx )
OR
2. Remove-Computer -Computername Server01 -UnjoinCredential domainname\administrator -Passthru -Verbose -Force -Restart
(See https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh849816(v=wps.620).aspx )
Thanks a lot.

Sorry, the "supplementary question" was a bit of an afterthought, I didn't actually mean to close the question! Thanks very much for your answer, footech. Sorry about the points.

The "Request attention" button found at the bottom of the question block will notify an admin. Just explain in the box what you would like done. In a case like this, the question can be reopened.
