EmailXtender Client deployment
Hi everybody,
As an engineer for a small IT company I found myself involved in an EmailXtender implementation for one of our customers. EX is totally new to me, so the learning curve has been steep. Very steep.
Right now, we are trying to find an automated way of deploying the EXclient to some 1500 users, and prevent as much manual work as we can.
We want to use scripts, to take care of the deployment for most of the users.
We do not expect things to go smoothly for 1500 users, as our tests have already shown that some the desktops ARE a problem.
What we are looking for is a complete installation procedure for a cleanly installed machine.
Some of you have probably faced a similar task, so maybe I can benefit from your experience.
I have a some questions:
1. The ExClientSetup.exe command.
I can imagine there are more options to it than described in the installation manual. Some of them ( like REBOOT ) have been mentioned in other posts.
Is there documentation on the Exclientsetup.exe command?
What options do you know, and what do they do?
2. Registry settings.
We have been looking at manipulating registry settings through scripting, but have not been able to detect all the registry settings used by search plugin.
For instance, we want to change the default setting of searching only the default Exserver to searching all defined servers. This one still eludes us.
Is there documentation on registry settings used by the client?
What do you think about this approach of enforcing registry settings?
Feel free to give any other advice or inside you might have.
It will be very much appreciated.
Thank you very much in advance.
