Scalix Forums

I have a server with 1100 users that i want to convert to Scalix. is there an easy way to import the users to scalix? is it possible to migrate the local users to scalix on a redhat box?

thanks

we used webmin to do the initial user import to the local system.
using postfix/ courier-imap/ mailscanner/ squirrelmail right now.

Many ways...

1. Your basic friend is using the command line; the command is omaddu and has a man page that describes it's options. you can script around it.

2. the omaddu command has a bulk option where it uses a specifically formatted text file as input when creating the users. this is also described in man omaddu

3. there is a script called loadusers in the admin_resource_kit subdirectory of the tarfile, plus some readme describing it's use. this takes a csv file with user data and runs it against omaddu.

4. lastly, if your user information is available in a LDAP directory or as LDIF files, you can create user accounts based on this using our omldapsync tool.

As you see, that door is wide open..

i will take a look at the omaddu command and the man pages. also the loadusers in the resource kit.

thanks,

i am looking in the resource kit but i don't see loadusers in the tar file?

ok.... ;-) stupid me, should have checked before making that post based on bad memory...

it's called omloadfile

hope that helps,

what format is the csv file in? and how do i run the file..

./omloadfile textfile.csv ?

andy

omloadfile is a script, and as everything else in the admin resource kit, the idea that this is mainly to be taken as an example - believe it has some comments at the beginning of it w/rgds to the file format...

hope this helps,
Florian.

Okay i found the answer in the knowledge base under advanced directory and mailbox provisioning...

thanks,
