You can use this script for change password all account.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
clear
USERS=`su – zimbra -c ‘zmprov -l gaa’`;
for ACCOUNT in $USERS; do
ACC1=`echo $ACCOUNT | awk -F@ ‘{print $1}’`;
ACC=`echo $ACC1 | cut -d ‘.’ -f1`;
if [ $ACC == "admin" ] || [ $ACC == "wiki" ] || [ $ACC == "galsync" ] || [ $ACC == "ham" ] || [ $ACC == "spam" ]; then
echo “Skipping system account, $NAME…”;
else
echo “Modifying $ACCOUNT password…”;
su – zimbra -c “zmprov sp $ACCOUNT NewGeneratedPassword”;
su – zimbra -c “zmprov ma $ACCOUNT zimbraPasswordMustChange TRUE;
echo “Done!”
echo “”
# read anykey
fi
done
echo “Modifying password for all user has been finished successfully”

Has anybody been successful in using this script to change all of the users in the Zimbra server? I realize that it is from 2017, but thought I would see if anybody modified it to work with the current version.

It will still work, but it will be extremely slow and ineffecient if you have a large number of accounts, since it's invoking zmprov (and thus starting a whole Java JVM) twice for every account.
Better make it just print all those "sp" (setPassword) statements and pipe them through a single zmprov instance on stdin.

That being said, you do not need to know (or change) user passwords to do a Zimbra server migration... So I'd question that requirement in the first place.
