Requirements
Only members of the Administrators or the Account Operators local group can successfully execute NetUserDel on a remote server or on a computer that has local security enabled. Only members of the Administrators local group can delete an Administrators privilege account.
NET_API_STATUS NetUserDel(

Pointer to a Unicode string containing the name of the remote server on which the function is to execute. A NULL pointer or string specifies the local computer.
