Hello pup_seba!
The minimum requirements of the ZeXtras Migration Tool are the same ones than ZeXtras Suite (see HERE).
Regarding the import scripting part, the command you need to use is `zxsuite backup doExternal restore`:
Code:
zimbra@demo:~$ zxsuite backup doExternalRestore
command doExternalRestore requires more parameters
Syntax:
zxsuite backup doExternalRestore {source_path} [attr1 value1 [attr2 value2...]]
PARAMETER LIST
NAME TYPE EXPECTED VALUES DEFAULT
source_path(M) Path
accounts(O) Account Name[,..] all
domains(O) Domain Name[,..] all
filter_deleted(O) Boolean true|false true
skip_system_accounts(O) Boolean true|false true
skip_aliases(O) Boolean true|false false
skip_distribution_lists(O) Boolean true|false false
skip_coses(O) Boolean true|false false
provisioning_only(O) Boolean true|false false
notifications(O) Email Address
(M) == mandatory parameter, (O) == optional parameter
Usage example:
zxsuite backup doexternalrestore /path/to/data/ accounts john@example.com,jack@example.com domains example.com filter_deleted false skip_system_accounts false
Restores the example.com domain, including all system accounts, and the john@example.com and jack@example.com accounts from a backup located in /path/to/data/
As you can see, you can use the "accounts" parameter instead of running the import command once for each account (this, depending on the number of accounts on your server, might save up quite some time).
The moved/deleted items limitation cannot be overcame in any way, as it is a safety measure to rule out any chance of item duplication. Personally, the best way I found to deal with this is by keeping users informed and up to date with what's happening: a simple email with some informations about the migration and about the fact that "while all emails will be moved to the new server some changes will not be restored (so make as less changes as possible, pretty please)" can do wonders...
Have a nice day,
Cine

p.s.: If, as I presume, you have a quite large number of accounts to migrate why not trying the Incremental Migration way?
