Using a Custom File to Delete Users

To locate and delete users, you can create a custom file of user IDs by using a text editor.

Before You Begin

1. Create a text file that lists each user ID that you want to delete on a separate line.

2. Upload the custom file with the first node of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server. See Chapter 2, "Uploading and Downloading Files."

To delete users by using a custom file, use the following procedure.

Note Do not use the insert or export transaction files that are created with bat.xlt for the delete transaction. Instead, you must create a custom file with details of the user records that need to be deleted. Use only this file for the delete transaction. In this custom delete file, you do not need a header, and you can enter values for user ID.
