Manager Deletions

This chapter provides information to delete managers with all their manager-assistant associations from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database and LDAP Directory. You can use either a query search or a custom file to locate existing records to delete.

Manager Deletions From Cisco Unified Communications Manager

When you delete Unified CM Assistant managers with all their manager-assistant associations from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database and LDAP Directory, Cisco Unified Communications Manager maintains information on the manager as a user in the directory. For example, if a manager with the user ID, rmartinez, has two assistants with user IDs, dbell and jkent, you can disassociate rmartinez from both assistants by deleting rmartinez as a manager in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database. The directory still shows rmartinez as a user.
