[cisco-voip] Deploying Cisco IP Communicator using freeformdevicename

[Wes Sisk]

I think Peter Slow just went through something similar.

Generally the process would be to invoke the MSI and use environment variables to retrieve the username:

from command prompt:
C:\Users\wsisk>set | findstr USER
ALLUSERSPROFILE=C:\ProgramData
USERDNSDOMAIN=CISCO.COM
USERDOMAIN=CISCO
USERNAME=wsisk
USERPROFILE=C:\Users\wsisk

C:\Users\wsisk>echo %USERNAME%
wsisk


This may vary some depending on how you invoke the MSI. When I was doing desktop software management with SMS long ago it included special variables, sometimes with different names, for accessing local environment information.

HTH,
Wes

We are deploying Cisco IP Communicator 8.6.3 to about a 1000 uses using their AD user ID as the freeformdevicename for the device name.

How can we deploy this, using the msi, automatically and set it based on logged in userID?

The deployment guide is remarkably spartan on deployment options.

Any ideas?
