You can pretty much accomplish anything you want using the API available.  The 
kolab command line is a python implementation making use of the API.   The 
documentation has examples for both python and PHP.

I went a different route, writing my own in PHP using the PEAR/Http_Request2 
module.   I found it made for a much easier to understand, and re-useable 
object oriented approach.  You could, in theory though, script things in any 
programming language you choose making calls to the API on your kolab server.

The deployment I was working on had a time constraint, and I wrote this to 
serve my specific needs.   So things like type IDs on the user creation, or 
group creation are hard coded.  This could be made much more generic, and 
extended to all API calls.   I only implemented what I required.

KolabWebService.php - Class implementing parts of the kolab API.

I have attached examples demonstrating the use.
