NetBackup™ Deduplication Guide

Disconnecting an Active Directory domain from the deduplication shell

Use the following procedure to disconnect an Active Directory (AD) user domain from the deduplication shell.

To disconnect an AD user domain

  1. Open an SSH session to the storage server as the msdpadm user, or for NetBackup Flex Scale, as an appliance administrator.
  2. Run the following command:

    setting ActiveDirectory unconfigure ad_server=<server name> domain=<domain name> domain_admin=<username>

    Where <server name> is the AD server name, <domain name> is the domain that you want to disconnect, and <username> is the username of an administrator user on that domain.

  3. When the prompt appears, enter the password for the domain administrator user.
