The server was pushed to Ubuntu 14, and a patch was run on Zimbra to bring it up to date, but after the patching finished the 80GB LDAP database was corrupted. Attempts to fix the corrupted database failed. Backups were restored, and a small patch was attempted to bring it up to U14, but once again there were LDAP issues. A new Ubuntu 10 mail server was built, and the exact version of Zimbra for the backups was installed, and the backup data was put in place, but failed. Each step was slightly different errors. </div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px">My thought is that the Zimbra server went through many updates through it's life, and at some point some of the data went out of spec just enough that it could only ever run on the exact U10 environment that it had.

It uses many packages, but none are the repository default packages. All are bundled with Zimbra, and all work just the way Zimbra wants them to, meaning that support resources are sparse. </div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px">The only thing that the Zimbra server was doing was personal email accounts.</div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">-Karl Jendretzky</div>
