Managing Domains

One domain is identified during the installation process and additional domains can be added from the administration console.

When you create a new domain, the Create New Domain wizard guides you through the required steps. After a domain is created you can edit the domain's configuration from Configure>Domains in the Navigation pane.

For each domain, the following settings can be configured:

General Information.
- Time zone. Set the default time zone for the domain. If a time zone is configured in a COS or for an account, the domain time zone setting is ignored.
- Public service host name. Enter the host name of the REST URL. This is the URL that is used when sharing email folders, Briefcase folders, Task lists, Address Books, and Calendars. See the Administrator Guide, Managing ZCS Configurations chapter.
- Public service protocol
- Public service port
- Inbound SMTP host name. If your MX records point to a spam-relay or any other external non-Zimbra server, enter the name of the server here. Check Allow administrators of this domain to check MX records from Admin Console if the domain administrator can configure this for the domain.
- Description. Text field to write a brief description of the domain. This displays in the Domain list in the Content pane.
- Domain status. The domain status is active in the normal state. You might want to change this status if you are not ready to use the domain after you set it up.
