What are cpcalendars, cpcontacts, and webdisk

Hello @Rocko, These are known are Service Subdomains. We document how these subdomains work and how you can configure them on the following document: Service Subdomains Explanation - cPanel Knowledge Base - cPanel Documentation Let me know if you have additional questions after reviewing this document. Thanks! 0 -
.. And I should assume that it is also ok to delete them AFTER creation ? 0 -

It's safe to remove these subdomains, however you should use the script below instead of manually removing the entries:# /scripts/proxydomains Usage: servicedomains [action] [options] Options: --help Brief help message --man Full help message --user= User to configure --domain= Domain to configure --subdomain= Service subdomain to manipulate --no_replace=0 Enable replacment of existing records (currently only used for changing autodiscover hosts) --old_autodiscover_host= The previously configured autodiscover host (used for matching old records and updating them to the new host) --force_autodiscover_support=1 Behave as if the autodiscover support has not been disabled even if it has. This is useful for removing the autodiscovery service subdomains after the support for them has been disabled. --ifenabled Only perform the operation if service subdomains are enabled. Actions: add Create service subdomains remove Remove service subdomains
For example, to disable the "webdisk" service subdomain from a specific domain, execute the following command:/scripts/proxydomains --domain=domain123.tld --subdomain=webdisk remove
Thank you.0 -
I suspect (could be wrong) that cpcalendars, cpcontacts, and some of the other service subdomains are used by relatively very few cPanel users.

What would be fantastic would be:
1. A way for cPanel/WHM to report or detect which, if any, service subdomains are in active/legitimate use.
2. For all the ones that aren't, to provide a very easy way (NOT command line) to fully delete/disable the INactive service subdomains.

spaceman - I'm not sure there is a good way to determine which are in use, but you can use WHM >> Tweak Settings and uncheck the "Service subdomains" option to turn those off.

Thanks cPRex. Is your suggestion, using WHM >> Tweak Settings, the functional equivalent of the CLI instructions given by cPanelMichael?
Except perhaps the instructions given by cPanelMichael are able to target specific subdomains, whereas your suggestion impact ALL service subdomains at once?
Or are there other functional differences?0 -
Yes, those are about the same besides the differences you pointed out.

What if i want to remove cpcontacts, webdisk, and cpcalendar from all domains. But still keep the webmail one. How can i do that easily ?
0 -
I'm not sure there's going to be an easy way around that. The best option may be to shut off the Tweak Settings option and then edit the DNS Zone Templates to include the webmail subdomain for newly-created zones.

Thanks for the reply. cPRex
If i turn it off, will it delete it for all the current users ?
If i edit the DNS Zone template. Will it add the webmail "back" to all existing users, or only future users ?0 -
Yes - turning off the option will remove the records from existing DNS zones as well that have those in place.
If you edit the template it will only be used on future zones as that action doesn't retroactively go through existing zones on the machine.
