commadmin user delete
The commadmin user delete command marks a single user as deleted. To mark multiple users as deleted, use the -i option.
This command only marks a user as deleted; it does not remove the user entry from the directory.
No undelete utility exists. However, you can use the ldapmodify command to change the status attribute of a user entry to active at any time before the purge grace period has expired and a purge is set to run against the entry.
To remove a user
The following steps summarize how to remove a user from the directory. For more information, see Removing Users, Groups, and Services from a Domain.
1. Mark the user as deleted by running the commadmin user delete command.
2. Remove resources from the user.
A resource can be a mailbox or a calendar.
For mail services, the program is called msuserpurge. Refer to the Sun Java System Messaging Server Administration Reference for information about the msuserpurge utility.
For calendar services, the program is csclean. Refer to the Sun Java System Calendar Server Administration Guide for information about the csclean utility.
3. Permanently remove the user by invoking the following command: commadmin domain purge.
For reference details, see commadmin domain purge.
