What about creating a configuration file on server for each soft phone<br>extension automatically and then importing that file into the soft phone?<br><br>In another words, user receives a link to the setup program and the
<br>configuration file in an email. That is how we are configuring our soft<br>phones :-)</blockquote><div><br><br>This is essentially what I have done. I've configured X-Lite for user #1, then shut it down and copied the config folder to shared location named for their windows logon. Then I start up X-Lite, reconfigure for user #2, shut it down and copy the config folder to a shared location named for their windows logon.
<br><br>The logon batch file looks for configs in the shared location and pulls them to the local PC, overwriting the existing configuration. This also provides an "escape hatch" should the user bork the configuration of X-Lite - just log out and back on again.
<br><br>Workable, but inelegant. And not without other problems - I have a mix of different headsets in the office, and when an X-Lite configuration made with one type of headset starts up on a PC with another type of headset, it tends to reset it's configuration to point the headset speaker to the PC's speakers. Quite annoying, and made even more so by the aforementioned "escape hatch".
<br><br>As I've mentioned, I'm just looking for a better way of doing this without reinventing the wheel. Along a timeline of the appropriate length, I can make any of the suggested solutions work.<br><br>Anyone selling a timeline lengthener? :)
