Deleting Subscriber Accounts


Except for the procedure on how to delete a subscriber, this chapter contains information specific to deleting regular subscriber accounts. For information on deleting Internet subscribers, refer to the "Deleting Internet Subscribers" section in the "Internet Subscribers" chapter in the Networking in Cisco Unity Guide, available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/products_installation_and_configuration_guide_books_list.html).

How to Delete a Subscriber Account

When a subscriber leaves the organization or otherwise no longer needs a Cisco Unity account, delete the account in the Cisco Unity Administrator. It is important that you delete the subscriber in the Cisco Unity Administrator before you delete associated accounts in Windows and Domino, so that Cisco Unity can do the following tasks:

Delete the subscriber from other Cisco Unity accounts, handlers, or call routing rules that send calls to the subscriber.

Prompt you to reassign to another subscriber any call handlers that the subscriber owned or was the message recipient of.

Prompt you to reassign to another subscriber any public distribution lists that the subscriber owned, and to remove the subscriber from all public distribution lists.

When you delete a subscriber who was assigned to review the messages sent to any of the following Cisco Unity entities, make sure that you assign another subscriber or a public distribution list to replace the deleted subscriber; otherwise, messages may be "lost."

Unaddressed Messages distribution list

System Event Messages distribution list (because the Example Administrator is the only member of this distribution list by default)

Operator call handler (because the Example Administrator is the only member of this distribution list by default)

Opening Greeting call handler

Goodbye call handler

Example Interview call handler

Use the following procedure to delete a subscriber account in the Cisco Unity Administrator.

To Delete a Subscriber Account


Step 1 From any subscriber page, click the Delete icon.

Step 2 Click Delete.


What Happens When a Regular Subscriber Account Is Deleted

When you delete a Cisco Unity subscriber account, Cisco Unity removes all data associated with the subscriber account from a SQL database on the Cisco Unity server.

In addition, Cisco Unity removes the small subset of subscriber account information that is stored in the Domino address book.

Note that deleting the Cisco Unity account does not delete the Windows domain account (if there is one) or the Domino Person document for that subscriber. As needed, the Windows domain account can be deleted separately after the subscriber account is deleted in the Cisco Unity Administrator.
