Sorry, you wanted to remove a user *from a group*. Misread.

Translated from http://techtasks.com/code/viewbookcode/1626

<code>
import active_directory
group = active_directory.find_group ("name-of-group")
# or group = active_directory.AD_object ("group-moniker")

user = active_directory.find_user ("name-of-user")
# or user = active_directory.AD_object ("user-moniker")

group.Remove (user.path ())

</code>

Obviously, for something this simple using an extra module
is overkill. You might as well:

<code>
import win32com.client

group = win32com.client.GetObject ("group-moniker")
group.Remove ("user-moniker")

</code>

NB I haven't tried these, I've just translated them
from the Cookbook site!
