safe to delete default ScalixAdmins etc groups?

[heupink]

hi!

as far as i can see, the four default scalix groups (ScalixAdmins, ScalixGroupAdmins, etc) are not actually used for anything, right?

Is it safe to delete these?

Those groups are used by the Web Administration console. If you never intend to use the admin console, you can delete them without a problem.

I wouldn't advise deleting them.

ok, thanks.

but is there a way to hide them them from the global (system) address list?

If we are advised not to delete the default groups, then what is the alternative solution to block display in the system address book?

[ScalixSupport]

Try the following:

ommodent -e common-name=<GroupName> -n EX-CDA-DIRECTORY=1

omexeccda

Well, I was trying this but it doesn't seem to work.

What am I doing wrong in the following command?

ommodent -e common-name=<ScalixAdmins> -n EX-CDA-DIRECTORY=1

Also, I have excluded certain accounts from the directory, but for some reason they still show up in the SWA address book. Should this be happening?

Thanks,
John

Hi,

Don't include the < > . This was only meant to indicate example data. So, in your case,

ommodent -e common-name=ScalixAdmins -n EX-CDA-DIRECTORY=1

omexeccda

Note that this only hides the entry in Outlook (not SWA or any other client).

I tried that as well and I get "Entry not in the Directory".

Is the common-name specific to groups? I can do it just fine for individual accounts.

[ScalixSupport]

Sorry.... my fault. It should be:

ommodent -e cn=ScalixAdmins -n EX-CDA-DIRECTORY=1

[ScalixSupport]

... followed by omexeccda of course.
