| lat-ibays or lat-ibays on wiki documentation | add/delete ibays (and its directories) |
| lat-quota or lat-quota on wiki documentation | set the disk quota for individual users |

Installation
Smecontribs repository for SME Server 8.0
yum install --enablerepo=smecontribs smeserver-lazy_admin_tools signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
Obsolete way to install
Download and install using the following commands:
cd /tmp wget http://www.sme-server.de/download/sme7/contribs/smeserver-lazy_admin_tools-0.9.1-2.noarch.rpm yum localinstall smeserver-lazy_admin_tools-0.9.1-2.noarch.rpm
More information, examples, and source code can be downloaded from http://mirror.contribs.org/contribs/mblotwijk/Contribs/lazy-admin-tools/
Upgrade notes
1. If you are upgrading from a version prior to 0.7.0-1, don't forget to remove manually the old scripts. Yum will not be able to find and remove them for you.
2. As from version 0.7.0-1 the arguments for lat-groups have changed. Please refer to 'man lat-groups' or to the examples in /usr/doc/lazy-admin-tools for the new format.
Usage
Each tool has its own comprehensive man page. See `man lazy-admin-tools` for an overview of the tools that have been installed.
All tools follow the same concept:
1. Arguments can be specified on the command line (--command-line), or in a file (--input-file) for batch processing.
2. If the arguments are specified on the command line, the arguments must be between quotes (e.g. -c="foo | bar | baz")
3. Most tools recognize the wildcards * and ? in the first argument (e.g -c="foo* | bar | baz").
4. See the various examples in /usr/doc/lazy-admin-tools for the format of the input file.

Known issues
Large user database
it has been reported that large user imports might be really long ( 60s per user in SME server already containing 4000 users) (see http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7545). This script is using sme internal processing. The purpose of doing so is to do everything that is included by other contribs.
S95ldap-update-simple is called with user-modify user-create, group-modify and group-create events. S56update-domain-group-maps is called with the same events. These events allow also the full creation of the user, but have the adverse effect to be really long during large user importation.
A workaround to avoid this could be to: - disable ldap in the db configuration during the import (if you have not enable ldap auth) - or temporally remove the link inside the events to this two scripts and create them back after import.
and revert bacj theses change after importation and then running the signal event once (user-modify)
