10 Click Unbind, then enter the following credentials and click OK.
Enter the name and password of an LDAP directory administrator (not a local
computer administrator).
If trusted binding hasn’t been set up on this computer, the Unbind button does not
appear.
If you see an alert saying the computer can’t contact the LDAP server, click OK if you
want to forcibly stop trusted binding.
If you forcibly stop trusted binding, this computer still has a computer record in the
LDAP directory. Notify the LDAP directory administrator so the administrator knows to
remove the computer from the computer group.
For more information about removing a computer from its computer group, see the
computer groups chapter of User Management.
