Deleting Organization on SDS
- Oct 04, 2017
Hello.
Yes, you can.
Take a look at Bill Sluss's SDS Scripts here: https://github.com/OfficeDev/O365-EDU-Tools/tree/master/SDS%20Scripts
As schools are AdministrativeUnits (AUs) in Azure AD (AAD), you must use AAD's AU commands to do the job.
This script https://github.com/OfficeDev/O365-EDU-Tools/blob/master/SDS%20Scripts/Remove-All_Schools.ps1 has a perfect example, what steps are needed to gather the AUs. (I love the part, where those scripts actually check for and install if needed the required Powershell and MSOL Sign-In Assistant...)
Quick fix would be to comment the line 228 from:
Remove-MsolAdministrativeUnit -ObjectId $au.ObjectId -Force
to
#Remove-MsolAdministrativeUnit -ObjectId $au.ObjectId -Force
Just to be sure nothing can be deleted.
Now its perfectly safe to run the script in Powershell ISE, (set a breakpoint at line 227)
.\Remove-All_Schools.ps1 -RemoveSchoolAus $true
run to the point where it will ask you about deleting the schools really, here you can answer yes (as we disabled the actual delete-functionality with the # in front of line 228), let the program run until breakpoint at line 227 and then examine the resulting csv file made. (name and path are on-screen)
It will contain the needed ObjectIDs for the school AUs.
With that info you can actually delete the AU you want like this:
Remove-MsolAdministrativeUnit -ObjectId 1dc48982-fdac-4bd5-b21a-d8997ed11111 -Force
Then check the school is deleted.

Hello,
I believe you must first delete any sync profiles that include the organization, at that point the organization information should disappear from SDS after a day or two.
