[comotion]

Thanks for your reply pheonix, but I sure did run zmprov -l.
Had I forgotten to do so, zmprov would have notified me:

# su - zimbra -c 'zmprov'
prov> rd domain.no domain-mig.no
renameDomain can only be used with  "zmprov -l/--ldap"

I tried your suggested fix:

# su - zimbra -c 'zmprov -l'
prov> md domain-mig.no zimbraDomainStatus active
ERROR: service.INVALID_REQUEST (invalid request: domain domain-mig.no is being renamed, cannot change zimbraDomainStatus)

It seems that there is some sort of internal flag that disallows changes to the domain.

I also tried deleting the domain:

# su - zimbra -c 'zmprov -l'
prov> gaa nr-mig.no
prov> md domain-mig.no zimbraNotebookAccount ''
prov> dd domain-mig.no
ERROR: account.DOMAIN_NOT_EMPTY (domain not empty: domain-mig.no. You may beed to remove the value in zimbraNotebookAccount attribute before deleting accounts in this domain.)

this too seems to fail. It is turning into quite the problem :-P
