Re: Bulk Deleting of User Accounts and Files

We have to delete about 100 users from our directory of around 1000. I need

to delete the OD user records as well as the home folders. Given a text file

with short names does anyone have a script that could accomplish this task?


I could even write my own if I knew the command line code for deleting a

user account. In the command line user guide I see that it explains how to

use dscl in interactive mode to do this. To include it in a script I need a

non-interactive way to do it.

Maybe you don't need it anymore (I'm a little bit late), but you could use dscl like this:

dscl -u diradmin -P password-of-diradmin "/LDAPv3/127.0.0.1" -delete /Users/username

Including the  diradmin password in the script is probably not the best thing to do from a security point of view, but if you just run the script once and then delete the pw from the script... I'm afraid that f you don't include it, it will prompt you for the pw for every single user it deletes. Not very practical. Didn't try it, though.

Hope this helps, Tina
