I am getting an object state error on one of my managed accounts in SharePoint 2010. I'd like to just delete that account and start fresh with a new one.

In Powershell, I run: Remove-SPManagedAccount -Identity "DOMAIN\AccountName". I get the error,

"Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object."

To my knowledge, I have moved all services away from that account. Any thoughts on how I might proceed?

  • No, but I am now quite sure I've got myself into a mess of dependencies. I've gone from "Huh, that's weird" to "Well, time to rebuild the server." It's time to upgrade to 2013, anyway.

Try the following code! I had a ghost managed account that I removed this way by having the object in a variable:

$account = Get-SPManagedAccount -Identity <ACCOUNT_NAME>
Remoeve-SPManagedAccount -Identity $account
