Deleting a Remote User Manually

Running a remote update can use one of your networking ports for quite some time. If you want to delete a remote user immediately but do not want to run a remote update, you can delete that user manually. For example, to conserve system resources, you might want to delete an administered remote user with an old Last Usage date.

 

Mailing lists often include administered remote users. If you manually delete a remote user, the user's name is then removed from mailing lists with no notification to the user or the mailing list owner.

To delete remote users manually:

1. Start at the Messaging Administration main menu and select Messaging.

   Enter your login.The system then displays the AUDIX Command Prompt screen.

2. Enter remove remote-subscriber machine_name remote_user_extension at the enter command: prompt, where machine_name is the name of the networked system and remote_user_extension is the extension of a user on that system.


 

Tip: To see a list of remote systems, use the list machines command as described in Viewing a List of Machines.

The system displays the following message:

Press [Enter] to execute or [Cancel] to abort.

3. Press F3 (Enter) to remove the remote user from the system database.

The cursor returns to the command line, and the system displays the following message:

Command Successfully Completed.

4. Repeat Step 2 and Step 3 for each remote user you need to delete.
5. Enter exit or another administrative command at the enter command: prompt.
