Deleting sites from the messaging network

If a remote site is no longer part of your messaging network, remove it from your network database. When you delete a remote site, you delete the messaging server and its prime switch location, as well as all of its satellite switch locations. The local site cannot be deleted.

Caution!  If your NMS network is a site in a larger network, deleting a satellite switch location at your local site affects the configuration of all other sites with which you exchange messages. You must contact the administrators of all other sites, and ask them to delete the satellite switch location from their Server tree as well.

Note/Tip  If you want to delete a local satellite switch location, ensure that you delete all mailboxes and remote users that are associated with the local satellite switch location. If you do not delete the mailboxes and remote users first, you cannot delete the local satellite switch location.

Note/Tip  Before you delete a remote site, Nortel Networks strongly recommends that you print all network configuration information. Store this information with your messaging network history. You can use the printout to reconfigure the site if it must be added to the messaging network again.
