Hi,

Just a quickie. Is it possible to change the Admin Group name using Virtual UI or API?

I know that you can change the user name using the "Change Domain Name" feature. However, have not been able to find the action to change the group name.

Best wishes

You can do this on the "Change Domain Name" page, using the "Change mailbox name suffix and group?" field.

Great, thanks Jamie. Missed that one.

Actually, just remembered why that doesn't work.

I want to change the Unix group name for a domain. However the "Change mailbox name suffix and group?" action doesnt' affect that. It appears to change settings relating to email.

For example: virtualdomain: abc.net

Has admin user: joe

So the user and group is set to "joe"

If I change the user name, using the Change Domain Name action, it changes the user name but not the group.

So I am left with user: notjoe and group: joe

Using the "Change mailbox name suffix and group?" does not list "joe" as the name to change.

Any ideas?

I did some tests, and if you select "Automatically chosen name" for the username and group fields, it does rename both the user and group..
