How to install or mount an appliance?

[dxiri343 at gmail.com]

Thats exactly why, me neither have never configured either, and the appliance provides web chat, registration, domain configuration with the domain name of my choice, security fixes, etc. In short it provides a better configuration that configuring it myself. Only thing missing would be the AD replication.

Another advantage is that the files on this file server are VERY critical to my company and having a virtual machine separates roles, so if for some reason I screw up I can just delete the VM instead of doing a painfull system troubleshoot.

(sorry for top posting. the Gmail mobile app insists on top posting)

Um, why would you want a virtual appliance when Maverick has ejabberd
package? See http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=ejabberd

Do a sudo apt-get install ejabberd (or use sudo aptitude), and follow
ejabberd's documentation on how to configure
http://www.process-one.net/docs/ejabberd/guide_en.html

If you want ejabberd to auth against Active Directory, you'll have to
go the LDAP route, and (probably) need to learn how to have OpenLDAP
replicate from AD.

Note: I've never done either (use ejabberd or OpenLDAP), so I can't
guide you further. Sorry.

Rgds,
