Removing a Domain from Discovery Management

If you wish to remove a domain from Discovery management, consider deleting the following types of domain generated records from the VSA:

  • Optionally delete any domain-generated machine ID template records using Agent > Delete. These are typically identified as belonging to the organization associated with the domain in Discovery.
  • Optionally delete domain-generated VSA users using System > Users. Each domain-generated VSA username is prefixed with the name of the domain, using the following format: domain/username.
  • Optionally delete domain-generated Portal Access user logons using the Agent > Portal Access (Classic) page.
  • Optionally delete the organization associated with the domain using System > Orgs/Groups/Depts/Staff > Manage.
    • An organization cannot be deleted if machine ID accounts are members of that organization.
    • For machine ID accounts you want to keep, use Agent > Change Group to move machine ID accounts to a machine group in another organization.
    • For machine ID accounts you don't want to keep, use Agent > Delete to uninstall the agents and delete the machine ID accounts.
  • If you elect to keep the organization associated with the domain, optionally delete the staff records created for domain contacts in the organization, using the System > Orgs/Groups/Depts/Staff > Manage > Staff tab.
  • It is possible a dedicated scope was created using the Discovery > Domain > User Policies tab. This dedicated scope is initially assigned the same name as the organization associated with the domain. Optionally delete this dedicated scope.
