Use the following steps to get GAL from CLI mode.

Login to CLI mode

zmprov -l gaa |less > gal.csv
Copy the gal.csv file

You can do it from admin panel.

Admin Interface > Accounts
and then just click search button with empty text when search result comes click download button.

If you want a list of accounts, it works.

But, you are no getting GAL data.

hi, forgive me on this, dont know much on linux commands, is it
zmprov -l(small letter L)(space)gaa |(pipe)less > gal.csv (or is it ok for any other file name?)

i've tried this syntax
zmprov -l gaa less > 05202012.csv
-bash: 05202012.csv: Permission denied

does it mean i have no permission to create the file? any help on this, thanks.

oh sorry the command i've use is this

zmprov -l gaa | less > 05202012.csv

same error, permission denied

Please see my post above. The much much easier method to do this is to go through the admin panel.

If you still want to try and do it with the command line, you probably need to change to the Zimbra user first.

On Ubuntu:

$ sudo su - zimbra

I have also tried that, but when i click the download button it opens another window/tab with just a blank page without any error message displayed.

Have you tried another, up-to-date browser such as Chrome/Firefox?

[limars]

yup, tried ie, firefox and chrome, all latest versions. we're using Release 6.0.4_GA_2038.RHEL5_64_20091214192925 CentOS5_64 FOSS edition
