Hi,

first you have to do some checks.

1. check if users are used in jobs

  Goto transaction se16. enter table TBTCP.

  Chose "Settings" -> "Fields for Selection".

  Mark the checkbox on field AUTCKNAM.

  Press Button "Multible selection" (button next to the selection fields)

  Enter the useres you want to delete

2. check if users are used in RFC-destinations

  Goto transaction se16. enter table RFCDES.

  Enter 9999 in field "Width of Output List"

  Enter 9999 in field "Maximum No. of Hits"

  In the list you can search for the users.

3. check if users are used in interfaces

  For examplu are there users that login to the system by external programs.

  You can check this with transaction SM59. RFC-> "Display Trace". Search the list for the users you want to delete.

4. copy users with transaction SU01

  If you have a lot of users, program a batchinput or use eCATT.

5. delete users with transaction SU10

  select all users you want to delete and press delete

ready

Hi

please confirm following

1. are this Server users ? or SAP users in SAP system .

2. if you are talking about SAP users  you can do following

  -- you can take export of users

-- you can import the same and you can delete the users if they dont have licenses

if users are server users (considering os is SOLARIS /. UNIX flavor )

you can take backup of /etc/passwd , /etc/user_attr , /etc/group  files and then you can delete the users and restore the original users .
