Hi,

Where would I find docs on the OpenChange tools (openchange_newuser, openchange_group, etc)? I can't seem to find anything on the openchange site.

I understand I can user RSAT to do most of the management (except adding a new user, see my previous emails), but I'd still like info on the local tools. I hate having to go to two different places to get work done.

Thanks,
Gerald

Gerald, all,

After some search engine, I believe there is no documentation online for these openchange command line tools!

Here is the list of them direct from the source:
https://github.com/openchange/openchange/tree/master/setup

openchange_group
openchange_migrate
openchange_neworganization
openchange_newuser
openchange_provision

To find the options I dug into the python source.

What I discovered is, you Invoke each command without options and it will print the help/usage.

Hi,

The online help is slim at best. For example, when creating a group, how do I differentiate between a security and a distribution group? Is it by adding the --mail address?

I dunno.

Gerald

From reading the comments in the source, I believe you're right about that, the mail attribute creates a distribution group.
https://github.com/openchange/openchange/blob/master/python/openchange/provision.py
Line 772
search for keyword "newgroup"

Who knows, maybe distribution groups failing to send mail to their members could be a known openchange bug/limitation. But, unsure about that, because Zentyal runs on openchange and supports distribution groups:
http://www.zentyal.org/server/

So, I highly recommend creating a github "issue" on openchange, with full details so the dev can take a look and give you his official answer.
