Hi guys, hope you can clear something up for me.
We're slowly rolling out Windows Jabber, our environments setup has not been designed for hot desking (Health Service), so 99% of extensions are fixed to the phones. We have a small handful of users that generally grab a desk wherever they can find one, some of these users are being setup to use Jabber, but as they do not have a fixed extension we are not able to associate them with a specific device, so they are only able to use it for IM.
Most of our workstations/laptops connect to our LAN via a Cisco IP phone, is there a way to setup the users Jabber account to auto detect what fixed extension IP Phone is connected via the device they have logged into jabber with? So once it knows the extension that the user is sitting at it will then associate their Jabber account with that phone - on a temporary basis of course.
I have been in environments where it's the opposite, users have extension mobility and wherever they login to their workstation/laptop it automatically logs the user into their desk IP phone and thus the extension follows the user. But can it be done how I've described above?
I'm assuming it's not something that's available yet, or that there's much demand for - but you never know, someone else may have done this.
Thanks.
Daryl.
