Default [SOLVED] Exchange 5.5 to Zimbra

Hello,

I'm currently in the process of evaluating Zimbra on a small scale. Currently I have about 10 users on Zimbra which I have manually transitioned from Exchange 5.5. Overall I have about 900 users with 14 different domains; from what I have read migrating their existing accounts from Exchange should be no problem.

What I haven't found documentation on is Active directory importing. Currently when a user is added or removed from payroll a script runs that adds/removes them from Active Directory and Exchange. Is there a way I can make this happen with Zimbra? People are hired/fired/quit all the time; it would be very difficult to keep up with the users...

Any help is appreciated!

There's a script here that should do what you need: Active Directory sync with zimbra-dap

I have fully migrated about 1000 users from Exchange to Zimbra. I have a backup script and an add user script in place. The script compares zmprov gaa output to a custom CSV file that lists all employee's then add's users accordingly. I am working on a script to remove users...

Thanks for the help!
