Tzafrir, I don't know if you do many large deployments, but this would be a godsend! We did an install for a large law firm with all lawyers wanting softphones (eyebeam) on their laptops. Centrally pushing out the install executable was easy, setting up the parameters for each user was time consuming (i.e. expensive). With hard phones, we setup a TFTP server for each phone to pull config on bootup. We've even built a couple of tools to build config files (text ini files) dynamically from a database. This has shaved up to 8 hours off a large install. I think you're confusing installation with configuration. Without ascii config files (or a tool from the mfg to create binary config files from a script), each soft device must manually configured.

Why would you want to do that? There are well-known and established tools to "provision" (centrally configure) software running on computers in a entwork. Why should the soft phones be configured any differently? What OS do you use on the desktops? -- Tzafrir Cohen icq#16849755 jabber:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +972-50-7952406 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.xorcom.com iax:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/tzafrir _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
