Answer 1

Your code is not very clear and seems overengineered, $rute.Contains($Computer) will never ever be $true , you probably meant $rute.DistinguishedName.Contains($Computer) which could be $true but .Contains is case-sensitive so it could also be $false .

Your Read-Host statement is assigned to $Computer but then you're using $Computadora . Also, it's unclear why you are hardcoding OU=GDL,OU=ClientComputers,OU=ZAP,OU=MX,DC=kabi,DC=ads,DC=fresenius,DC=com , I would assume you want to use this OU as your -SearchBase .

Here is how you can approach and will most likely work:

$param = @{
    SearchBase = "OU=GDL,OU=ClientComputers,OU=ZAP,OU=MX,DC=kabi,DC=ads,DC=fresenius,DC=com"
    LDAPFilter = "(name={0})" -f (Read-Host "Type in the Host to Delete")
    Server     = "DCKABI02.kabi.ads.fresenius.com"
}
$computer = Get-ADComputer @param

if($computer) {
    Clear-Host
    $computer | Remove-ADComputer -Server "DCKABI02.kabi.ads.fresenius.com" -Confirm:$false
    Write-Host "The Computer Exist and it has been deleted" -ForegroundColor Green
    Start-Sleep -Seconds 5
}
else {
    Clear-Host
    Write-Host "The Host does not exist on AD" -ForegroundColor Red
    Start-Sleep -Seconds 3
}
