Zimbra + Samba - can't restore accounts from backup

Hello everyone,

I've tried to restore an account from backup, but failed with the following error:

$ zmrestore -a <username> -restoreToTime 20090927060000 -ca -pre old_
using restore to time of 2009/09/27 06:00:00
Error occurred: invalid request: createAccount invalid schema change: [LDAP: error code 65 - object class 'posixAccount' requires attribute 'uidNumber']


I guess this is because of the Samba extensions that i've installed on the server. Does anyone know how to overcome this problem?

Thanks

try running these commands, and then trying the restore again:

Code:

---

su zimbra
zmprov mcf -zimbraAccountExtraObjectClass posixAccount
zmprov mcf -zimbraAccountExtraObjectClass sambaSamAccount

---

afterwards, you'll want to run

Code:

---

zmprov mcf +zimbraAccountExtraObjectClass posixAccount
zmprov mcf +zimbraAccountExtraObjectClass sambaSamAccount

---

Those commands enable and disable the extra account attributes needed for samba/posix. If the account was created before you installed the samba addons, then the restore is bailing because uidNumber is a required atrribute that was not included in your backup. After restoring, browse to the users tab in zimbra, set and save the posix and samba attributes.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, It did solve the problem.
