ADMINISTERING
You can delete a roaming user in Domino® Administrator just as you would delete any user name. When you delete a roaming user, multiple administration requests are generated.
Delete Person in Domino Directory

Carried out on: The administration server for the Domino Directory.
Carried out: According to the Interval setting for the administration Process in the Server document.
Result: The Administration Process removes the name from the Domino Directory, except from other people's Person documents, and posts the Delete in Person documents request. If you have created a termination group and set up the administration process to add deleted users to that group, the name is added to that group.
