Authenticate --Leave [--User <User Name>] [--Force]; Authenticate --Update --Kerberos - Dell PowerVault Storage Area Network Reference Manual

NOTE: When attempting to join the ADS domain, the administrator password is required for that domain to ensure
that the join operation is successful. Supported domain names are limited to 64 characters in length and can only
consist of a combination of A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and two special characters: a dash (-) and a period (.).
