====Easy Scripting====
The purpose is to made an easy and quick script to play with the lazzy admin tools when you want to add a user
nano script-lazy
#!/bin/bash
read -p "set the login (mandatory field) : " login
read -p "set the firstname (mandatory field) : " firstname
read -p "set the lastname (mandatory field) : " lastname
read -p "set the password : " password
read -p "set the first group : " group1
read -p "set the second group : " group2
read -p "set the Limit with grace period (M or G) : " quota1
read -p "set the Absolute limit (M or G) : " quota2
lat-users -a -c "$login|$firstname|$lastname|$password|||||||||$group1|$group2"
lat-quota -c "$login|$quota1|$quota2"
read -p "Do you want to launch it again, then type enter, else ctrl+c: "
/usr/bin/script-lazy
Or this one if you want to have some default values.
#!/bin/bash
read -p "set the login (mandatory field) : " login
read -p "set the firstname (mandatory field) : " firstname
read -p "set the lastname (mandatory field) : " lastname
read -p "set the password : " password
group1='bpa_tap_adultes'
group2='eleves'
quota1='150M'
quota2='152M'
lat-users -a -c "$login|$firstname|$lastname|$password|||||||||$group1|$group2"
lat-quota -c "$login|$quota1|$quota2"
read -p "Do you want to launch it again, then type enter, else ctrl+c: "
/usr/bin/script-lazy
Then
chmod 755 script-lazy
mv script-lazy /usr/bin
to launch the script then do
script-lazy
As you can see this is a quick example of what you can do with this contribs, you can take this as an example for all your needs.
===Server Migration===
====Migrate user accounts to a new server====
Perhaps your SME server was first installed in 2005 or earlier, and has suffered at your hands over the years as you tested add-ons, contribs, and procedures.
The time has come to start fresh -- but you don't want to have to reconfigure all of your users' computers, phones, tablets, etc.
Using Lazy Admin Tools, you can migrate your user accounts to a shiny new server -- with their existing passwords. Transferring their existing email folders is also relatively simple.
Assumptions:
* Existing SME server '''legacySME'''
** ssh access enabled using port xxx
** IP address is legacySME_IP
* Existing or newly installed SME server '''newSME'''
** use the same domain name that was used by '''legacySME'''
** disable DHCP
Results:
* User accounts and passwords from '''legacySME''' will be created on '''newSME'''
:(optionally transfer user files and email)
* Users' devices will have access to email on '''newSME''' without any reconfiguration
;1. On '''legacySME'''
: Create Lazy Admin Tools backup files
<div style="margin-left: 2em;">
<nowiki>mkdir /root/lat
cd /root/lat
lat-dump -d</nowiki>
</div>
;2. On '''newSME'''
: Copy the files from '''legacySME'''
: (scp uses an uppercase "P" to specify the ssh port number)
<div style="margin-left: 2em;">
<nowiki>mkdir /root/lat
scp -P xxx root@legacySME_IP:/root/lat/* /root/lat</nowiki>
</div>
: Restore the user accounts and passwords from '''legacySME''' on '''newSME'''
:: lat-dump from '''legacySME''' created a file called ''lat-restore'' that shows the commands required to restore everything that was backed up. To create the user accounts from '''legacySME''' on '''newSME''' you need to run the ''lat-users'' and ''lat-shadow'' commands. The commands below will execute these two commands, but you could also review the contents of ''lat-restore'' and run these two commands manually.
<div style="margin-left: 2em;">
<nowiki>$(grep lat-users lat-restore)
$(grep lat-shadow lat-restore)</nowiki>
</div>
: Optional - transfer users' files (including email)
::The commands below will transfer all of the user files and email from '''legacySME''' to '''newSME'''
::(ssh uses a lowercase "p" when specifying the port number)
<div style="margin-left: 2em;">
<nowiki># get the user files and folders from the old server
rsync -rltzq -e "ssh -p xxx" "root@legacySME_IP:/home/e-smith/files/users/" "/home/e-smith/files/users/"
#
# fix file ownership for all users
cd /home/e-smith/files/users
for f in *; do chown -R $f:$f $f; done</nowiki>
</div>
;3. Cleanup
* On '''legacySME'''
** Turn it off and disconnect it
*: or
** Run <tt>su admin</tt> and:
*** Change the hostname
*** Change the IP address
*** Disable DHCP (if it is enabled)
* On '''newSME'''
** Run <tt>su admin</tt> and:
*** Change the hostname to '''legacySME''' (the original name of the old server)
*** Change the IP address to '''legacySME_IP'''
*** Enable DHCP (if it was enabled on '''legacySME''')
* Other Considerations
** SSL Certificates
*: If you had a commercial or LetsEncrypt certificate on '''legacySME''', you will need to set it up on the new server, too.
** Repeated data transfers
*: The <tt>rsync</tt> command shown above does *not* delete files from '''newSME''' that have been deleted from '''legacySME'''. If you choose to do the process above, test the new server, then repeat the data transfer -- your users will see some emails returned to their inbox that they had filed or deleted. To prevent this, add "-delete-before" to the rsync command:
*:<tt>rsync -rltzq -delete-before -e "ssh -p xxx" "root@legacySME:/home/e-smith/files/users/" "/home/e-smith/files/users/"</tt>
**'''legacySME''' vs '''legacySME_IP'''
*: Since '''newSME''' is using the same domain name as '''legacySME''', it will not find '''legacySME''' by name unless you add it in server-manager as a host. If you do that, you'll also have to delete that entry before renaming '''newSME''' at the end. It is easier to use the '''legacySME_IP''' for scp and rsync.

In issue [https://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,53238.msg275866.html#msg275866 lat tools on SME 9.2], gsimpson reporte that user accounts on the new SME server were locked and needed the password reset. mmccarn replied that running the following resolved the issue.
<div style="margin-left: 2em;"><pre>
# force password restore from SME 8.2
cd /root/lat-dump
/usr/sbin/lat-shadow -a -i=mail.shadow -f
