Mass delete list of users - zmprov?

[Brian@MCC]

Can I use the zmprov command to put in a file that will delete a block of users? If so can I have an example of how to do this?

thanks

OK thanks, I've created a delete.zmp file with the subcommands of:

da joeuser@mydomain.com

(there are around 11,000 of these) and dropped it in the /opt/zimbra folder ran zmprov < delete.zmp and get prov> Unknown command. Type: 'help commands' for a list.

What am I missing? The command works fine if I just type zmprov da joeuser@mydomain.com.

OK nevermind, I redid the file (apparently I can't cut and paste correctly). It's just reading out prov> prov> prov> over and over. Is it actually deleting the accounts now? Am I going to get 11,000 provs?

Yep, you will get one prov> for each command.

I don't know how you want to filter out which users you want to delete, but you can try this:

su - zimbra
zmprov gaa | grep (filter) > /tmp/accounts.txt
for a in `cat /tmp/accounts`; do echo "Deleting $a"; zmprov da $a; done;
