I'm using WPKG to deploy DL Extension on Thunderbird. You can find here the XML description of the WPKG package: https://upload.firewall-services.com/?t=3f17512b9411b0d6513987058f3e7bc3 I bascially just extract the XPI under %PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\Mozilla Thunderbird\distribution\bundles I prefer this over the extensionx folder because this way, extensions are: - Automatically enabled - are not visible in the Addon manager (so users cannot disable it) - they are managed directly on the system partition, and not copied over every user profile, so I can even downgrade it when I want if needed I'm also using MCD to auto-configure all this. This is a bit harder to achieve, but in simple terms: - WPKG deploys on every station a config file which points Thunderbird to an https URL - This https URL is a PHP script - Each time Thunderbird starts, it fetch this URL, with the Windows login name appended - This PHP script then lookups in my LDAP directory for the corresponding user, and generate the necessary config for Thunderbird on the fly - Thunderbird store this config so it can reuse it next time it starts if the web server doesn't respond The FileLink part of this generated config is: defaultPref("mail.cloud_files.accounts.account1.restURL", "https://<?php echo DL_URL; ?>/rest.php"); defaultPref("mail.cloud_files.accounts.account1.type", "DL"); defaultPref("mail.cloud_files.accounts.account1.username", "<?php echo $uid; ?>"); defaultPref("mail.cloud_files.inserted_urls.footer.link", "http://www.ipasserelle.com";); defaultPref("mail.cloud_files.accounts.account1.displayName", "Lien iPasserelle"); Once all this is in place, not only Thunderbird can be started and already configured for the logged in user, but everything else like the calendars (lightning), the addressbooks (sogo-connector) and FileLink DL are already configured and ready to use (only the password will be asked) Hope this helps ;-) Cheers, Daniel -- Logo FWS *Daniel Berteaud* FIREWALL-SERVICES SARL.
