[Freeipa-users] How to delete a managed group

[Bob Hinton]

Hi,

Something went wrong when trying to restore some preserved users so I
deleted them and then tried to recreate them. This failed with -

ipa: ERROR: Unable to create private group. A group 'XXXXX'  already exists.

Trying to delete this group produces -

ipa: ERROR: Unable to create private group. A group 'XXXXX' already exists.

Trying to detach it with

ipa group-detach XXXXX

produces

ipa: ERROR: XXXXX: group not found

ipa group-show XXXXX

displays the group, but "ipa group-find XXXXX" doesn't

How can get rid of the group so I can recreate the user ?

Many thanks

Bob
