hi im trying to migrate a server to plesk 8
i have written a script to create all of the accounts using the passwords from the old server

unfortunatly -passwd_type crypt
doesn`t seam to work ???

i am using

/usr/local/psa/bin/mail.sh -c <Mailname>@<Domain> -passwd '<Encrypted_Pass>' -passwd_type plain -cp_access true -mailbox true

The script will return

Can't create mailname:
Wrong syntax for option's '-passwd_type' parameter
 
I am getting the exact same error. What was "-passwd_type" changed to? Can I just leave it out or do I use another parameter?

its changed to encrypted

-passwd_type <plain|encrypted> specifies the type of mailbox
password, ignored if no password
specified

took me a while to work it out :mad:
 
I'm sorry, after I posted I realized that my error is actually quite different. I don't get a syntax error, mine is actually a non-existent option. Here's what is says:

Cannot create domain: Unrecognizeable option: '-passwd_type'

Apparently they have taken it out in release 8.
