You can:

• List GCOS

• Add a GCOS

Delete a GCOS

Deleting a GCOS that is in use by mailboxes will cause all of those mailboxes to be assigned the default (1) GCOS. A warning message is displayed to allow you to cancel the operation. If you are deleting the default GCOS, the mailboxes assigned to it will be assigned to the next available GCOS. You cannot delete the last remaining GCOS in the system; therefore, you cannot select all GCOS for deletion.

Note: At any time during the deletion of a GCOS (but before you confirm the deletion), you can click the Cancel button to discard your changes and return to the Group COS list.

1. In the Group COS list, select one or multiple GCOS, and then click Delete. The system will prompt you to confirm the deletion.

2. To confirm the deletion, click Yes for a single deletion or Yes to all for a range.
