[Users] Zimbra 8.8.8 Patch 1 release - Seems to break FOSS only servers

Hi Randy,


Sure I will. I'll just have to rework the scripts a bit because they 
were quickly adapted to move accounts between stores. I made them 
initially  to move accounts from SAN stores to Ceph stores. I'll come 
back to you when I have them reworked.


Regards,

Frédéric.
