remove sidhistory for one user

Question

_{Thursday, September 15, 2011 2:34 AM}

Is there any way to use the set-aduser command to remove the sidhistory for one user at a time?  I can only find examples for the entire directory.

Thanks

Here are some more options:

**PowerShell - **

Get-ADUser –filter ‘sidhistory –like “*”’ –searchbase “dc=name,dc=name” –searchscope subtree –properties sidhistory | foreach {Set-ADUser $_ -remove @{sidhistory=$_.sidhistory.value}}
