How to Remove an Administrative Unit from Office 365

To remove an administrative unit from Office 365, use the Remove-MsolAdministrativeUnit cmdlet in PowerShell with the -ObjectId parameter that specifies the unique ID of the administrative unit to remove.

# Get the Administrative Unit
$AdministrativeUnit = Get-MsolAdministrativeUnit -SearchString "East Coast"

# Delete an Administrative Unit
Remove-MsolAdministrativeUnit -ObjectId $AdministrativeUnit.ObjectId -Force

The Get-MsolAdministrativeUnit command in PowerShell gets an administrative unit that matches a search string specified by the -SearchString parameter, in this case, “East Coast” and stores the administrative unit in the $AdministrativeUnit variable.

The Remove-MsolAdministrativeUnit command in PowerShell uses the -ObjectId parameter to specify the object ID of $AdministrativeUnit. This command uses the -Force parameter that doesn’t prompt for confirmation and removes an administrative unit from Office 365.

Conclusion

I hope the above article on how to use the Remove-MsolAdministrativeUnit cmdlet in PowerShell to remove an administrative unit from Office 365 is helpful to you.
