Deleting directory service domains

You can delete a configured directory service domain.

To delete a directory service domain

  1. In the Console, click Settings > Directory Services to display the configured directory service domains.
  2. Click Select Action > Delete for the domain that you want to delete.
  3. Click OK on the confirmation message.

Note:

Users from a deleted directory domain are removed from Data Insight only after the next directory scan runs.

Note:

For Azure Active Directory: You can not delete Azure Active Director once added but you can disable it if you do not intend to use it anymore.
