How to auto purge a deleted entry?

Product Version : 2005Q4 (Delegated Administrator)

My client have problem on deleting entry from DA. The deletion of Domain or Users is initiate from DA Web Interface, but the entry was still exists under Directory Server in the "deleted" status whereby this entry will not autopurge even after 10days. Is this a normal situation? My Client need this as the same entry name might need to add back in future.

Hi,

You can use the commadmin domain purge command to clear out the 'deleted' accounts. As per the delegated admin guide:

"As part of periodic maintenance operations, use the commadmin domain purge command to remove all entries that have been deleted for a time period that is longer than the specified grace period.

You can perform a purge at any time by invoking the command manually."

So you can just run the commadmin domain purge command in a cron-job, say once a day.

Regards,

Shane.
