Jabber Requires Admin Right to Install

lgmouyaga58 — Mon, 18 Mar 2019 01:48:07 GMT

Hi,

I'm deploying Jabber 11.8.x for the whole company. When there's an update available, users are prompted to upgrade.

My problem is that users in organization DO NOT HAVE admin right to their workstation. To install client and/or to upgrade it, users are denied that ability and Jabber shuts down and users are unable to use it until an admin does the install or upgrade.

On a larger scale, this situation isn't possible.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hello LM,

It's been a while since you posted but many admins still face the same problem, myself included. Rather than bouncing partial response ideas around, I have created one possible solution document here: https://community.cisco.com/t5/collaboration-voice-and-video/how-users-can-upgrade-jabber-for-windows-without-local-admin/ta-p/4060265

Obviously, there are many different ways one could approach this but this is how it has worked for me.

Hope this helps,

Matthias
