The installation is straight-forward and easy to run. You run the same install script on each server, select which component(s) to install, and use the menu to configure the system.
After the installation is complete, two additional steps to fetch the ssh encryption keys and enable some logger functionality should be run. When the server installation is complete, the servers are started, and the status is displayed.

OK.
Once the Zimbra Collaboration Suite is installed, if you installed the Zimbra license, you can log on to the administration console and configure additional domains, create Classes of Service, and provision accounts. See the Zimbra Administrator’s Guide.
A default Class of Service (COS) is automatically created during the installation of Zimbra software. The COS controls mailbox quotas, message lifetime, password restrictions, attachment blocking and server pools. You can modify the default COS and create new COSs to assign to accounts according to your group management policies.
In an environment with multiple mailbox servers, COS is used to assign the new accounts to a mailbox server. The COS server pool tab lists the mailbox servers in your Zimbra environment. When you configure the COS, select which servers to add to the server pool. Within each pool of servers, a random algorithm assigns new mailboxes to any available server.
From the administration console, you can quickly create accounts using the New Account Wizard that steps you through the account information to be completed.

You can click Finish at this point, and the account will be configured with the default COS and global features.

Zimbra’s migration and import tools can be used to move users’ email messages, calendars, and contacts from their old email servers to their accounts on the Zimbra server. When the user’s files are imported, the folder hierarchy is maintained. These tools can be accessed from the administration console Download page and instruction guides are available from the Administration Console Help Desk.
