Immunities
All non-undead creatures are natrually immune to the spell. Additionally, artifact Pendant of Death can make undead troops immune to the spell. If one of the heroes on the battlefield wears Pendant of Death, the Destroy Undead spell can not be cast.
Discussion
Destroy Undead is at its best when fighting against small number of scattered low-tier undead creatures. The damage does not scale enough to cause serious damage when fighting against larger armies with stronger forces. One can easily calculate, that with a power skill of 20, Destroy Undead spell only does 250 points of damage at expert level, which means about two Dread Knights. Naturally, Orb of the Firmament and/or Sorcery can increase the damage, but typically there are more useful spells available than Destroy Undead for harming the enemy.
