[cisco-voip] Bulk updating CIPC (IP Communicator) TFTP Servers

[Eric Isakson]

If on a Windows domain with domain-joined workstations, Group Policy Preferences should work well here.  Target the computer (as opposed to the user) and you should be able to update HKLM.

Subject: [cisco-voip] Bulk updating CIPC (IP Communicator) TFTP Servers

Hey everyone,

I'm working on a project now migrating from one cluster to another.  Bulk updating the TFTP Server entries for CIPC has proven to be more difficult than originally assumed.

Through a lot of trial and error, I found this is the correct registry location for 64-bit machines:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Cisco Systems, Inc.\Communicator\

There's also an entry in HKCU that is overridden by the HKLM entry.

We're looking at ways to bulk update this registry entry.  SCCM running the script doesn't seem ideal as it can take up to an hour after logging into the VPN for users to check in and run the SCCM script.

We've pushed a local registry file to everyone's machines to allow them to manually run it but HKLM requires them to elevate their accounts to local admin.

Has anyone found a way to do this fairly seamless to the end users?

Thanks,
Brian Meade
