Create Domain Admin User

Create Domain, Account and Distribution List

su - zimbra
/opt/zimbra/bin/zmprov -m -l cd domain.com
/opt/zimbra/bin/zmprov -m -l ca manager@domain.com zimbraIsDelegatedAdminAccount TRUE zimbraIsDomainAdminAccount TRUE

/opt/zimbra/bin/zmprov -m -l grr domain domain.com grp zimbraDomainAdmins@domain.com +domainAdminConsoleRights
/opt/zimbra/bin/zmprov -m -l grr global grp zimbraDomainAdmins@domain.com +domainAdminZimletRights

Set Global Admin Rights and reset to Normal Rights

  • Log into webAdminUI as global admin
  • Set manager@domain.com as member of zimbraDomainAdmins@domain.com
  • Set manager@domain.com as global admin
  • Log out of webAdminUI
  • Log into webAdminUI as manager@domain.com
  • Log out of webAdminUI
  • Log into webAdminUI as global admin
  • Remove global admin for manager@domain.com
  • Log out of webAdminUI
  • Log into webAdminUI as manager@domain.com (might need to wait a couple of minutes - depends on server performance)

Domain Admin link when logged in as user

zmprov md <domain_name> zimbraWebClientAdminReference <domain_admin_site>

zmprov md mail.domain.com zimbraWebClientAdminReference https://admin.domain.com:7071/

Restart Zimbra mailbox service

zmmailboxdctl restart

Admin Console tabs and buttons missing

"Rights", "Global ACL" and "Account limits tab" missing? Log into CLi and run:

su - zimbra
zmzimletctl listZimlet all

Check that "com_zimbra_delegatedadmin" zimlet is deployed. I found that it was deployed, but was disabled on my LDAP server. I fixed this by running:

zmzimletctl enable com_zimbra_delegatedadmin

Viola... All my missing admin buttons and tabs appeared.

Backups

  • Configure e-mail settings for backup reports:
zmprov gacf | grep -i backup
zmprov mcf zimbraBackupReportEmailRecipients e@mail.address
zmprov mcf zimbraBackupReportEmailSender e@mail.address
zmprov mcf zimbraBackupReportEmailSubjectPrefix Subject of message
  • Display current backup schedule:
zmschedulebackup -q
  • To display the schedules on one line as a command, so that they can be copied to a text file and saved to be used if the application needs to be restored.
zmschedulebackup -s
  • To schedule the default full and incremental backup
zmschedulebackup -D
  • To replace the existing schedule with a new schedule
zmschedulebackup -R f [“schedule”]
  • To add an additional full backup to the existing schedule
zmschedulebackup -A f [“schedule”]
  • To add an additional incremental backup to the existing schedule
zmschedulebackup -A i [“schedule”]
  • Example:
zmschedulebackup -R f "0 1 * * 6" i "0 1 * * 0-5" d 14d "0 0 * * *"

Directing Users to the correct Change Password Page

  • Set the zimbraChangePasswordURL attribute to the URL of your password change page. The Change Password link in the Preferences>General tab goes to this URL and when passwords expire, users are sent to this page.
  • This is changed from the zmprov CLI.
zmprov md exampledomain.com zimbraChangePasswordURL https://mail.exampledomain.com/h/changepass

Modify zimbraQuotaWarnMessage for an entire domain

Explanation of script:

  • This script will getAllAccounts for the domain ("domain.com" in this case) and will modify the default zimbraQuotaWarnMessage attribute with the "message" for all those accounts.
#!/bin/bash
domain="domain.com"
message="From: Postmaster <postmaster@\${RECIPIENT_DOMAIN}>\${NEWLINE}To: \${RECIPIENT_NAME} <\${RECIPIENT_ADDRESS}>\${NEWLINE}Subject:***WARNING - your mailbox size is nearing your quota - please archive or delete some messages***\${NEWLINE}Date: \${DATE}\${NEWLINE}Content-Type: text/plain\${NEWLINE}\${NEWLINE}Your mailbox size has reached \${MBOX_SIZE_MB}MB, which is over \${WARN_PERCENT}% of your \${QUOTA_MB}MB quota.\${NEWLINE}If your mailbox reaches the quota you may not be able to send or receive any new mail.\${NEWLINE}Please archive or delete some messages to avoid exceeding your quota.\${NEWLINE}\(Please contact your IT Department if you require assistance witharchiving to a local folder.\)\${NEWLINE}N.B.
