[Complete] KACE User cleanup – 7/27 4:30pm

COMPLETED: The process has successfully deleted 42,000 users in KACE and we now show only 12,800 users in the system.

– John

 

EDIT:  The process will take approximately 8 1/2 hours to complete, so we are moving the time to 4:30pm in case there is any slow down to the system while the deletion processes.

-John

 

I have a query that will clean up 42,000 external email addresses that are in the KACE database and will be running that query at 2:30pm tomorrow (7/27). I do not anticipate any issues, but the query may make KACE slow for a little while as it processes the deletions from the database.
