Good Afternoon All:
I try to deploy cisco jabber on large base(right now only some people in IT using it) in my company and management want cisco jabber starts automatically as soon as OS starts. I knew there's option in cisco jabber under Option - General - Start-up - Start Cisco Jabber when my computer starts
but by default this option is disabled. I just to try to understand if there's any way I can make this process automatic happen by group policy or cisco jabber-config.xml file( I tired to search this file on TFTP server but some how its not there so its something created automatically by CUCM or I have to upload manually on server?)
CUCM and IM&P Version is 11.0
Cisco Jabber Client for Window is 11.6.0
Regards
Sukhdeep Grewal

Hi
The Options parameter 'Start_Client_On_Start_OS' should be set as true in the jabber-config.xml file. The file is downloaded during the initial login, and then takes effect.
<Options>
<Start_Client_On_Start_OS>true<Start_Client_On_Start_OS>
</Options>

Hello Jitender:
so let say I create jabber-config.xml with only this option so it will be enough or I need to create more option in this file?
I tired to use this tool before too but not sure what to put in Organization Name? tried domain name but its not accepting it and still looking to figure out which 36 GUID I need to put it here. I am using this tool from below web site.

thanks for your time to helping me out

Try updating the jabber-config.xml on OS Admin - TFTP and restart TFTP service.

best would be to download the existing jabber-config.xml edit it with below
<Options>
<Start_Client_On_Start_OS>true<Start_Client_On_Start_OS>
</Options>
and then follow the steps in above post.

Just to add to the subject, if your PCs are in AD then you can push configuration to startup any application via AD GPO.
