directReports is a system read-only attribute. Script to clear subordinates from manager?

0 votes

I have made a deprovision custom command. I cannot change the attribute directReports, so was thinking - i could take the people in the directReports field of the manager , and remove the manager in those employees attributes.

Id like the manager to be set to blank, not changed to another manager.

Ive found some scripts that go over all the disabled users, but id like it to only run and change attributes for the manager user (and its subordinates) that im running the deprovision custom command from. Any tips?
