Resolution

In order to delete users in bulk on the Cisco Secure ACS, complete these steps:

1. Log on to the machine on which ACS is installed.
   
   
2. Go to the command prompt.
   
   
3. Choose the location:
   
   C:\Program Files\CiscoSecure ACS v4.0\bin
   
   C:\Program Files\CiscoSecure ACS v4.0\bin>net stop csauth
   
   C:\Program Files\CiscoSecure ACS v4.0\bin>csutil -u
   
   
4. This command creates a file with a list of all the users in ACS, in a text file called users.txt.
   
   C:\Program Files\CiscoSecure ACS v4.0\bin>net start csauth
   
   
5. Use the information in the users.txt file to create a new text file called import.txt, with this syntax:
   
   OFFLINE
   DELETE:John
   DELETE:Andy
   DELETE:Sam
   
   Note: In this file, John, Andy,....,Sam is the username.
   
   
6. Import this file into ACS:
   
   C:\Program Files\CiscoSecure ACS v4.0\bin>net stop csauth
   
   C:\Program Files\CiscoSecure ACS v4.0\bin>csutil -i import.txt
   
   C:\Program Files\CiscoSecure ACS v4.0\bin>net start csauth
   
   
7. Open the ACS in a web browser and confirm that the users are gone.
