Hello fellow Windchill Users,

Need to discuss the following scenario,

User active as well as “(deleted)”:

On querying for users using wcadmin- the user say for example “psachin” is found active as follows:

However the same user is displayed as “psachin(deleted)” as follows:

New in this role and not aware who has created these “(deleted)” users. Such “(deleted)” users cannot be queried using wcadmin login and Windchill UI. Also, we have certain CAD documents which are checked-out by such “(deleted)” users. The objects checked-out by such “(deleted)” cannot be searched using Windchill UI even using advanced search. 

By the way….  this has been there before I started working in this role. Have now implemented the policy as recommended by PTC of not deleting a user and just changing their password and moving them to a group called “deactivated users”

But need to know HOW-

• such “(deleted)” users can be queried in the Windchill database without the UI or LDAP (if it is LDAP issue)
• the objects checkedout by “(deleted)”  can be checkedin

Windchill8.0M030(planning to upgrade soon)

Thanks in advance!
