Delete Group Class Syntax

delgrp “group”

group

The name of the group class to delete. The name must be encased within double quotation marks.

Using Delete Group Class

Before you can use the Delete Group Class tool, you must first obtain the proper name of the group that you want to delete. You can obtain a list of group classes by running the following query in SQL:

select GroupClass from GroupMap

When you have retrieved the proper group class name, you can use this tool to delete it. For example:

c:\winnt\profiles\administrator\desktop\newfolder\delgrp.exe "MICROSOFT|WORKSTATION_STATUS|1.0" 

If you do not encase the group class name within double quotation marks, the tool will misinterpret the group class name and return an error.
