Bulk remove users? (9.5.0)

[shackle101]

Hi all looking for a method with livelink 9.5 to bulk remove users. Are there any stock tools or methods that allow this with 9.5.0 or would I need to use a custom tool?

there are tools that you can buy,if you are a programmer and has access to lapi it may take you less than half a day to create yourself such a tool perhaps by using excel vba. 9.5 by far is a very old livelink platform so many commonly used things like blubaker,web reports etc may not work.Depending on your database your programming approach would be to first write a db query to say give me a list of all users,and for each user delete this user.BTW what makes you want to bulk remove users?If you were using a directory sync process you could basically write a bad query and get livelink to do it for you.That usually happens in some organizations where they do not know how the sync process works so once in a while I see an admin posting how come all my users are now deleted


Well, if I called the wrong number, why did you answer the phone?

Make sure you do the deletion via a managed API such as LAPI or the AD Synchronisation so that they are done properly, check out
