Installing Plesk without DNS and Email

[MrSmith]

Please can someone advise or point me to documentation with regards to installing plesk without any mail or dns services, as well as removing/disabling all mail/dns on already installed machines.

We have all our mail and dns on large scale servers, and would like to use plesk for all web servers but without any mail and dns on web machines.
IE, install plesk without qmail or mail enable etc, and have all the mail controls (mail services, add email address and so on) hidden...

I've had very little success navigating the parallels.com site as it keeps pointing back to the old swsoft.com links which in turn redirects everything back to parallels.com and to a 404. Go figure.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure you can do this.

The best solution would be to install Plesk as normal, then simply turn off email for the domains, and also switch of DNS.

I'm not sure how you'd disable the mail controls though. Maybe set maximum mailboxes to 0?

Or maybe exactly what you want can be done after all -- I'm sure someone who knows will pipe up soon enough and say so

In my searching around the parallels.com site, I discovered Plesk Expand, which suggests it is possible to do exactly what I am wanting. Take a look at the pretty little diagram on the main page of Plesk Expand

I didn't think of Expand. I'm not sure what changes it might make to plesk to disable the necessary buttons though.

Hi,

checked a bit this one and I don't see how you can uninstall these services.

You could disable it with group operations from plesk, both of them.
