zmprov deleteAccount

[nirt]

Hi,

I'm try to make script to delete account from cli using
su - zimbra
zmprov deleteAccount user@domain.local
returns:
-l option is specified. Only the LDAP entry of the account will be deleted.
DB data of the account and associated blobs will not be deleted.

Continue? [Y]es, [N]o:


yes only delete ldap no data of mailbox, and no (no action executed)


our problem is seems taht doesn't delete because implies by default -l that I suspect that only delete ldap but not mysqwl, and mailbox account


checking https://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Zmprov
seems that command is correct but we don't know why executes -l also....

Any suggestion?

Thanks

Make sure to run it from the Mailbox node.

Yes, I'm running from a all in one server, any other situation to check is 8.8.15?
It is reqrried to run same mailbopx where is mailbox or any mailbox?

It is

Your best bet is to run it from the mailbox node who has the account.

Maybe the system detects the account has never been used and thus is equivalent to an ldap request.
This makes sense if this is tied to an Active Directory Auto Provisioning with lazy mode.

Apparantly it wants to send the zmprov request directly to LDAP (zmprov -l), instead of SOAP, which should be the default on a mailstore node.
Can you try with "zmprov -s localhost" ?

What does

Code: Select all

zmprov getAccount account@domain.com zimbraMailHost

return?

It should point to an actual Zimbra server (As you what you see in Administration Console. Configure. Servers. )

What does

Code: Select all

zmprov getAccount account@domain.com zimbraMailTransport

return?

It should be an lmtp entry that points to an actual mailbox node server.

My point is that this problem probably only happens in this account for a very specific reason.

If it happens in all the accounts when you are a single server then it might mean that you have done something wrong in the past while installing or renaming your server.

exactly waht does it means -s localhost in a mutiserver environment, for example if you have 2 mailboes and 2 mtas, what will happen if you execute this from mailbox1 and some mailboces to delete are on store2?

This is test was made on a pre environment only 1 standalone server zimbraMailHost: test.domain.local

Well, I have run out of ideas. Maybe it's test.domain.local not resolving to your server ip (Need to test with dig, not with ping), unsure.

Hopefully someone else can have a better idea but I'm quite sure there's something wrong in your setup.

Do you see anything in mailbox.log while you try to run those commands?

That's not a problem, mailstore1 will proxy the SOAP requests to mailstore2. So you can target any mailbox on any mailstore server.

Only if you run zmprov on an LDAP server (which implies zmprov -l), it will remove only the LDAP object, without removing actual mailbox content.
