ZCS Administrator Guide 8.0

Network Edition

Global Configuration

Global Settings apply to all accounts in the Zimbra servers. They are initially set during installation. You can modify the settings from the administration console.

Configurations set in Global Settings define inherited default values for the following objects: server, account, COS, and domain. If these attributes are set in the server, the server settings override the global settings.

To configure global settings, go to the administration console’s Configure > Global Settings pages.

Configured global settings include:

Default domain

Maximum number of results returned for GAL searches. The default is 100.

Setting how users view email attachments and what type of attachments are not allowed

Configuring authentication process, setting the Relay MTA for external delivery, enabling DNS lookup and protocol checks

Set the spam check controls and anti-virus options for messages received that may have a virus

Set up free/busy scheduling across a mix of ZCS servers and third party email servers

Customize themes color scheme and add your logo to the themes

Configure the company name that displays when external guests log on to see a shared Briefcase folder
