of the Windows operating system. For earlier versions, the property is blank.

PS C:\>Disable-LocalUser -Name "Admin02"

This command disables the user account named Admin02.

Example 2: Disable an account by using the pipeline

PS C:\>Get-LocalUser Guest | Disable-LocalUser

This command gets the built-in Guest account by using Get-LocalUser , and then passes it to the current cmdlet by

using the pipeline operator. That cmdlet disables that account.
