IsOrphan

Indicates whether the IBM Security profile associated with a computer object is an orphan.

Syntax

bool IsOrphan {get;}

Property value

Returns true if the computer profile is an orphan, or false if the object is not an orphan.

Discussion

A IBM Security computer profile can become an orphan if the computer object it is associated with is deleted manually using Active Directory Users and Computers or ADSI. Orphan data can consume disk space and reduce performance for directory services and should be removed.

Example

The following code sample illustrates using IsOrphan for a computer object in a script:

...  
set objZone = cims.GetZoneByPath("LDAP://CN=research,
CN=zones,CN=centrify,CN=program data,DC=sierra,DC=com")  
'Check for orphan profiles  
for each computer in objZone.GetComputers  
    If computer.IsOrphan then  
        wScript.Echo computer.Name  
    end if  
next  
...
