Corey,
Thanks for your reply.
If that is the case, is there any way to do a "factory reset" via
ipmitool or does this fall under proprietary functionality? My issue
being, once a server is re-used, I'd like to automatically clear any
previous settings it had (including configured users). While I could
just loop over all configured users, disable them and just 'overwrite'
the user id's that I need - I would much prefer a "cleaner" solution.
Sorry, there is no "factory reset" function in IPMI. So you have to
clean things up a bit at a time, unfortunately.

Thanks again.

You don't really create and delete users in IPMI. You configure user
slots. So disabling the user is basically equivalent to deleting it.

Hi list,
I am having some trouble figuring out how to delete users via
ipmitool (or whether it's even possible). After looking over the
ipmi spec, I wasn't able to find anything that references user
deletion and ipmitool has nothing about this either. Does this
functionality vary from manufacturer to manufacturer? If using the
specific manufacturers web UI, user deletion works without problems
(and 'ipmitool user list 1' shows this to be true too).
My current test environments are on a Tyan 7002 and Supermicro 5015A.
Any hints/ideas/thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
