Remarks

As with Remove and Contains, There are four overloads to this function, but they all do the same thing. The extra overloads are only implemented to improve usability, so that developers using IntelliSense see overloads that take a UserPrincipal, GroupPrincipal, or ComputerPrincipal object. Calling any one of the User, Group, or Computer overloads is exactly equivalent to calling the Principal overload.
