How do you configure the networking on those computers? The mail
clients? How do you deploy updates?
The fundamental problem, as I explained in my first response, is
that X-Lite/eyeBeam will not search for it's configuration in the
part of a user's "Documents and Settings" folder that is part of a
roaming profile.
I allow that I may just be a complete Windows admin neophyte, but
my understanding is that the "Documents and Settings\username\Local
Settings" folder is machine-specific. X-Lite and eyeBeam store
their configurations in this folder, and it is not copied back to
the server on logout nor pulled from the server when the user logs
into a different workstation.
It was my hope that it might look in the Local Settings folder, and
if the appropriate directory was not found then continue the search
in the "Documents and Settings\username\Application Data" folder,
but this does not appear to be the case.
So, it is more accurate to say that I want a softphone that I can
configure in an automated fashion (preferably via text or XML
configs) from a central server. Whether that is part of a Windows
user profile or whether it is pulled via TFTP/FTP/HTTP is
irrelevant to this discussion. I merely stated it because it is
what SIP desk phones tend to support and I am trying to build
something analogous with a softphone without reinventing the wheel.

Snom used to have a softphone that emulated one of their hardphones.
I don't know if they still do, or if the emulation extended to the
config managment,
might be worth a dig....
