Administration Guide › Directory Profiles › Deleting a Directory Profile

Deleting a Directory Profile

You can delete obsolete directory profiles if they are not used by any directory entries. This means that they cannot be referenced by an INCLUDE statement in any directory entries.

You can find all user IDs that are currently using a directory profile by entering the following QUERY command, replacing profname with the name of that directory profile:

vmdirect query prfusers profname

When you find which user IDs are using that directory profile, remove the INCLUDE statements that reference that directory profile from their directory entries. For more information about removing INCLUDE statements, see Removing a Directory Profile from a Directory Entry in this chapter.

To delete a directory profile that you no longer need, use the ADMIN command or the DELENTRY command. The ADMIN command lets you delete a directory profile for a specified user ID. The DELENTRY command lets you delete a specific directory profile, and can also be used programmatically.

Examples

• To use the ADMIN command to delete the profile PROFILE1, enter the following:

  vmdirect admin profile profile1 (erase
  

• To use the DELENTRY command to delete the profile PROFILE2, enter the following:

  vmdirect delentry profile2 (profile
