URGENT Import: How to re-attach user's archive account?

[cyber7]

I have the following scenario in old system:

• user@domain.com has archiving enabled.
• archive account is called user-20170524@domain.com-archive

In the new system:

• user@domain.com has archiving enabled, but it does not work.
• user-20170524@domain.com-archive has a GREEN STAR next to the account.

Question:
How do I re-attach the archive account onto the user's account?

Actually, after some testing I fixed it with:

• zmprov ma user-20170524@domain.com-archive zimbraIsSystemAccount FALSE
• zmprov ma user-20170524@domain.com-archive zimbraIsSystemResource FALSE

and then go into the user@domain.com account archiving option, selecting "user-20170524@domain.com-archive".

Hope this helps someone else

Hi, Cyber7.

Yes, restoring an archived account doesn't take care of some LDAP attributes, and you have to manually set those.
Some functionality of the NE could be not fully covered, and we could give you specific support within our Support Portal.

Feel free to open a ticket and explain all your questions!

Just a last note, I only had to do the 2 ZMPROV commands above, nothing else!

ZeXtras restore is working AWESOMELY!

After some more testing I found that the above does not quite work. What you need to do is the following:

1. Create all your accounts with this: zxsuite backup doExternalRestore /path/for/the/data/ provisioning_only TRUE
2. Then find all your Archive Account with: zmprov ga user@domain.com | grep ArchiveAccount:
3. Then create your Archive Account with: zmarchiveconfig enable user@domain.com archive-address user-1234@domain.com.archive

Here is a script I wrote to do all of this. Remember, this server is blank, only the accounts and domains have been created:
AS ZIMBRA:

accounts=`zmprov -l gaa <domain>`
echo $accounts
for ac in $accounts; do

        zmprov ga $ac | grep ArchiveAccount: | awk '{print "zmarchiveconfig enable " "'$ac'" " archive-address " $2}' | bash;

### To add archiving use:
### zmarchiveconfig enable <user>@<domain> archive-address <user>-<number>@<domain>.archive

### to delete archiving use:
### su - zimbra -c "zmprov ma <user> -zimbraArchiveAccount <user>-<number>@<domain>.archive"
done

Once you have created all your accounts and archive accounts you can start with your restore.

I had to do this, else Zimbra runs out of licenses with a normal restore.
