How can I set Maintenance mode for all accounts

This doesn't work: http://www.zimbra.com/forums/adminis...html#post36074

zmprov ma zimbraAccountStatus active

And what is the effect of this?
It Seems to do nothing

zmcontrol maintenance

I'm slightly confused by your post, you're asking about putting the accounts in maintenance mode and you quote a command to make them active. What is the output of the command when you try the correct format?

[lindworm]

Im sorry, pasted the wrong line.

This is what I mean

zmprov ma zimbraAccountStatus maintenance

Output:

usage:  modifyAccount(ma) {name@domain|id} [attr1 value1 [attr2 value2...]]

zmprov [args] [cmd] [cmd-args ...]

...
...

'zmprov ma user@domain.com zimbraAccountStatus maintenance' works fine. But is there a command to put all Accounts in Maintenance mode?

[phoenix]

OK, the example you've quoted is incorrect and that is the command for a single user mailbox. The one you want should be the 'zmcontrol maintenance' run as the zimbra user, does that not put it into maintenance mode?

I wrote that just because jholder wrote this once (http://www.zimbra.com/forums/adminis...html#post36074)

1.
To put all accounts into maintenance mode, from the command line, enter zmprov ma zimbraAccountStatus maintenance

What does zmcontrol maintenance do?
User login is still possible

(And how can I see if I'm in maintainence mode or not?)

Yes, I realise that - it's wrong. That only does individual accounts and the format is wrong, you've already worked that out.

I thought my last post had told you what that command does.

Check the individual accounts via zmprov or in the Admin UI. If it's not working then check bugzilla and if there's no problems already listed please file a bug report.

[lindworm]

ok, thx for your help.

It doesn't work for me, I thought I missed something out.

I will check bugzilla.

To put all accounts for a domain into maintenance mode, blocking access you can do the following.

Put the domain into maintenance mode:

# zmprov md mydomain.com zimbraDomainStatus maintenance

Put the domain into active mode:

# zmprov md mydomain.com zimbraDomainStatus active

And to query the current attributes of the domain:

# zmprov gd mydomain.com

To query just the zimbraDomainStatus attribute of the domain:

# zmprov gd mydomain.com | grep -i zimbraDomainStatus

Note: Only Zimbra admins will be able to login to a domain when in maintenance mode. Normal users will not be able to login.
