Can you set ALL user settings remotely?

Question

We currently use Outlook Messenger and not all settings are configurable.  We would like to upgrade to Output Messenger but want to make sure we can control all settings of the client software remotely.  Is there still an Admin Tool available to configure everyone with?  Can you deploy the program with the settings pre-configured?

Answer 1

Yes, the MSI installer lets you to install Output Messenger Client with Custom Parameters setup. Hence, you can get your users to install the Client software with pre-configured settings through MSI Installer.

You can refer the following page for more details.

Note: You also can manage Output Messenger Client settings through ‘Output Messenger Server Manager > Centralized Client Settings’.

 

Answer 2

Seanohlrich, I am using the MSI switches for mass deployment and it works well.  The nice part about it is that the settings you apply are not just applied to the user currently logged in, but to all windows users on that machine whether they have folder under /Users already or not.

It is a very nice feature if you have enough machines to warrant auto deployment rather than manual installation.

Thank you for your response.  I did go through the instructions and setup every possible switch I could find, but there are still some other settings I would like to control outside that list.  If there are more switches available outside the ones listed below, please let me know.

msiexec /i OutputMessengerSetup.msi server=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx profile_picture=False favorites_tab=True recent_tab=True window_view=Tabbed offline_users_group=True sign_out_all=False minimize_idle=True history_default=Today new_chat_popup=Minimize new_message_popup=True rd_color=16 rd_interval=500 rd_share_cursor=False rd_allow_control=False sound_login=False sound_logout=False sound_message=False sound_ring=False sound_buzz=False show_toolbar=True status_notification=False
