I am trying to delete users from sharepoint site. I did it from stsadm -o deleteuser but its not deleting. any answers??

Are you getting any error? Try below command. stsadm -o deleteuser -url <URL name> -userlogin [-group] <group> Have tried from sharepoint site itself. Click "All Peoples" link and click "delete user from site collection" button from action menu Cheers, Hemendra-MCTS

Hi, make sure you have the correct permissions for the operation(logged on as farm admin when running stsadm from cmd) and that you used all the required parameters for the command! check this link: Deleteuser: Stsadm operation (Windows SharePoint Services): http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc287928.aspx Cheers,Daniel Bugday Web: SharePoint Forum Blog: SharePoint By Bugday

No error Hemendra. It shows Operation Completed. Thats why i m confused!

Ya i m doing it from Admin permission only.

Sometimes stsadm -o deleteuser does not work in some environment. I dont know why. Check it from, your site > actions > site settings > people and groups > all people > Action Menu > Delete user from site collection Cheers, Hemendra-MCTS

Thanks Hemendra.Your option worked.But the problem i was facing is that it takes Display Name as domainname\userlogin whereas i want to display name should be the simple name of the person it shouldn't come with domain name.

I dont understand what you are trying to say...Tell me 1. Where you want to display name? 2. Is there any customization for same? Give me some more clarity so that i can help youCheers, Hemendra-MCTS

Hemendra, when we add users from command stsadm -o adduser -url -userlogin -useremail -group -username this the syntax right? i add users from this command i want to show name of the user as per i give in -username. but the names are been displayed by -userlogin i.e. domainname\userid for eg:- i m adding users by stsadm -o adduser -url http://moss:1024/sites/scpl/ -userlogin sujataindia\shrikant.d -useremail shrikant.d@sujataindia.com -group netinx -username ShrikantDatke so i want the names to be displayed as ShrikantDatke(i.e username) but the moss takes it as sujataindia\shrikant.d(i.e.domainname\userid).

-username is only the <displayname>. Sharepoint verify the user with domain and user name. When you see the "People and Groups", You can identify the user by their display name. I think you are viewing the users in "All Peoples" with their login name. Do one thing go to the list setting of "All Peoples" and Find the default view link at the end of page. Click it and Check "Name" column in column section. Same thing you can do in user group also. See the result and let me knowCheers, Hemendra-MCTS
