Resolution
Directory and Resource Administrator 7.5
symptom
Directory and Resource Administrator does not delete home directories containing read-only files during a user delete operation if the home directory delete policy is enabled.
cause
The Administration server is not coded to delete read-only files.
fix
This issue is addressed in NetIQ Directory and Resource Administrator and Exchange Administrator version 7.5 Hotfix 46959.
This hotfix addresses an issue with how DRA handles the deletion of user home directories when deleting user accounts. If a home directory contains read-only files or folders, DRA does not delete those files or folders and does not delete the home directory. This hotfix resolves this issue by removing the read-only attributes on any files or folders in the home directory for the deleted user account. Then, DRA deletes these files or folders along with the home directory.
Note: This Hotfix requires DRA version 7.5.
To install this hotfix, perform the following steps on each Administration server computer:
- Stop the NetIQ Administration service.
- Run the DRA75000_Hotfix46959.msi file.
- In the Windows registry, add a new DWORD value called DeleteReadOnlyFiles to the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mission Critical Software\OnePoint\Administration\Data\Modules\Policy\Triggerregistry key. Set the value to 1. - Start the NetIQ Administration service.
This hotfix modifies the McsHomeShareTriggers.dll file on the Administration server computer. By default, this file is located in the Program Files\NetIQ\DRA folder.
