Installation and Upgrades / Re: Zentyal server is replacement for MS SBS ?
« on: October 18, 2013, 01:49:25 pm »
ohh yes. 
Also we may go for Small business service for zentyal. For email server which add-on from zentyal store will be better communication add-on or Zarafa Small Business - User Pack ?
In communication add-on i can use outlook with IMAP and mobile emails. where in zarafa we can integrate our calenders mails etc exchange way. hope i am thinking it right.

@robb, i am looking for small B server edition for 25 peoples and i think you are talking about free community edition? 
The mail server which comes with zentyal is enough, if i am using Thunderbird mail client? and also can i get push emails on phones?
as far as my understanding i need to buy communication add-on https://store.zentyal.com/other/communications-add-on.html or zarafa licences. https://store.zentyal.com/other/zarafa-small-business.html

i am finding zentyal is the solution for our network, with small business server (25) and paid technical support cost is around 400 pounds/year which will be ok for us. also zarafa plugin will do exchange.
one thing need to clarify that zarafa is like exchange like mail server but what about communication add-on provided by zentyal?
What is difference between communication add-on and zarafa email server, We will be getting avaya telephone system will be configurable with that?

That's a great news.
i accidentally posted this on other thread, deleted from there and now adding here. sorry for that.
My understanding before was, the cost of zentyal SB server is 495€? http://www.zentyal.com/pricing-editions/.
as robb correct me, that basic small business server is free to use from zentyal? and the support cost is 495€. and just need to buy zarafa mail server to work with zentyal.
This is quite a good configuration to save against MS, but obviously how anyone can manage zentyal on their own? it looks easy to configure and manage, but linux has its own world.

Installation and Upgrades / Re: Is upgrading any danger to custom LDAP settings?
« on: September 27, 2013, 10:30:14 am »
This thread goes bit confusing for me.. 
as i understand from all this posts that if i get zentyal server with 25 user limit + email server add-on, it'll cost us 800£/ year.
on in this case, apart from zarafa server add on server 245 euro + and then again needto pay per email user client? like windows CAL's ?
Regarding email server like exchange all features. and i would be managing all windows workstations in domain. also it's out of uk so wont be supported in normal times.
and about LDAP as you discussing here, is it different from windows active directory, more robust and enriched?

I have no clue
I thought i would be able to run MySQL db on this as this is based on ubuntu server. (like ubuntu + server feature) I need to know more about this. Thanks for letting me know, if you have more information please do let me know.
currently i am trying out ClearOS.

« on: September 26, 2013, 12:15:21 pm »I am in the process of moving from MS to Linux both servers and clients and so far things are not difficult in any way. Both MS server and Zentyal are running along side each other causing no conflict allowing a smooth switch over.
As to email/exchange type server I think you have some options depending on what exactly it is you are looking for. Zentyal comes with Zarafa (which can be expanded at cost) but other options to name only a few are Zimbra, Scalix, Sogo (my personal fav.). Worth having a look a few and seeing what meets your needs each has pros and cons.
You say you have 25 stations which I believe are on MS, are you looking at swapping client OS to linux too? You don't have to get rid of you MS servers and move to Zentyal over night, there are great how to's explaining how to add Zentyal as an ADC to MS server and to then transition to a Zentyal PDC only setup so you can have both running.
Hope this helps
Thanks for some positive direction.
NO i am not planning to change windows 7 workstations to linux, only thinking about putting MySQL server and email server on single machine.
As of now i am planning to select most adaptable and reliable linux version maybe zentyal it is.. to show my boss.
How you managing with zentyal server, any troubleshooting you faced, as i understand when something goes wrong in linux you have spend quite a time with it to fix. ?
Thanks @robb as well..

Hi guys,
I actually been suggested zentyal by spiceworks members, so i am trying to find some answers here.
BG- Our office is about of 25 peoples and we have old SBS 2003 server with exchange 2003 running and ubuntu linux server with mysql server running in domain.
So with zentyal which is based on ubuntu handling emails with mail server (importing from exchange 2003 database is it possible?) and running mysql server on same machine. Is linux server handles emails like exchange with same features and how good is zentyal server with troubleshooting.
In my view linux would be hard to manage than ms server 2011 ??
Please have your views on this.
Thanks.
