Migrate users from Zentyal 6.2 to 8.0

[Aerdos]

Hello!

We have an old Zentyal 6.2 server with many users. It currently functions only as an LDAP and DNS server. Is it possible to migrate the users and groups to a newly installed Zentyal 8.0 server? Our settings are minimal, so migrating just the users and groups would suffice. This would be faster than performing several upgrades to reach the current version.

Thank you!

Hi,

To export and import users and groups, you can use the information contained in the official documentation on how to perform the process.
https://doc.zentyal.org/6.2/en/directory.html#importing-and-exporting-users-and-groups
Before performing the process, take into account the limitations section as well as the warnings in case you have the mail module installed and enabled.

Hi!

thank you, I've read it already. The main question that is there any format difference between the 6.2 and 8.0? So can I import the database exported from 6.2? Will the 8.0 could process that format?

Thank you!

Hi,
Just above the known limitations section, you have the .csv file format section where it tells you the format of the .csv files.
You have it for both version 6.2 and version 8.0
