Deleting a user
You can delete a user name with the Administration Process by initiating a delete person command from the Domino® Administrator, by using the Web Administrator, or by using the Microsoft™ Windows™ Active Directory. When you delete a user name, you might want to add that user to a "termination" group to prevent the user from accessing servers. When you create a termination group, assign the group type Deny Access to the group.
About this task
If the server is running Active Directory, you can delete the user's Active Directory account as well.
There may be times when you want to maintain a user's mail file even though you have deleted the user from the Domino Directory. That option is available to you when you delete a user name.
