Issues with deleting a VDOM

Hi, I am having issues with deleting a VDOM from a Fortigate firewall running FortiOS 4.x. I have removed all of the objects and associations possible through the GUI but I am still unable to delete the VDOM. In the configuration, I have noticed that the VDOM is still associated with the admin user. When trying to delete the VDOM, I receive this error:
Domain test-vdom: used by admin user, can not delete
 Command fail. Return code -23
How can I remove the user association? Thanks, Jason.

Do you have a user in that vdom? Basically you have something else tied to the vdom and this why you can delete it. If your unix skills are on par you can grab the cfg just for the vdom and parse thru it, but you have some thing in the configurations files.

Maybe you are logged in to that VDOM? Happened to me once...

The VDOM is probably still attached to user dashboard.

 

- config global

- config system admin

- edit "<user>"

- unset vdom

1: a user left  ( admin or local )

 

2: a group

 

3: use diag sys checkused cmd

 

e.g ( from cli  )

 

diag sys checkused  system.vdom.name root
