3103.0. "improper deletion of users" by HGOVA::PETELAM () Wed Aug 04 1993 09:35

    Hi,
    
    I post this here to see if I can get a quick solution.
    
    A customer delete a lot of users "by force", i.e., delete through
    <form profil and then manually delete those users' directories.
    
    But when the system does its routine housekeeping, he got a lot
    of error messages. I guess it is because some of the data files still
    have those users' names/records.
    
    Anyone know is there any way for me to fix it ? 
    
    Thanks very much 
    Pete

    Er... assuming this is ALL-IN-1 v3.0, you will need to remove their
    drawers from the partition via SM MFC MD REM (Remove Drawer from partition).
    What are the errors exactly ? I think the above should help anyway.
    
    HTH,

3103.2You may/should reset the users mail count twice!!TINNIE::SETHIIt&#039;s not wise to have wisdom teethThu Aug 05 1993 01:1416
    Hi,                                                             
    
    I just remembered under 2.% you had to do a SM MM RUC, reset the users
    mail count.  The RUC option (it was know as something else), had to be
    used twice, firstly to reset the count than to delete the users
    record/name from pending.dat.
    
    If you didn't use the RUC option the second time around the users
    ALL-IN-1 username remained in PENDING.DAT, when users sent mail to this
    person via a distribution list the mail count increased etc.
    
    So you may need to do this unless things have changed under 3.0.
    
    Regards,

    Hello Pete,
    
    >> I post this here to see if I can get a quick solution.
    
    ... I rather think not! ;-) As you will have seen, it is not wise to
    try to delete user accounts manually, because there are many parts you
    might miss. 
    
    What you might like to do is to study (some of) the .coms and .scps 
    involved in Delete User, and these will give you pointers to what might
    be causing the Hkpg error reports. Indeed some of these scripts below 
    might be run to "clean up" the remains of the half-deleted accounts.
    
    Start with MUA_DEL_ACCOUNT.COM as the main guiding procedure. Others 
    to work through are: 
    SM_DELETE_DRAWER_HANDLER
    MUA_DEL_CAB
    SM_MODIFY_NETWORK
    MUA_DEL_VMS
    MUA_DEL_DIR
    CM_SM_DELETE_USER1        (all in OA$LIB:)
    
    Hope this helps.
