We may consider adding Jabber for any new phone requested. Not sure. There are 
disadvantages to adding a feature that someone hasn’t asked for.

As far as bulk load assignment, it would require significant reconciling and 
fixing of existing configurations. Not all our devices are associated with a 
user. Not all voicemails are. Not all phones match directory entries. Not all 
phones are unique 1:1 primary extensions.

I would add, why not just bulk add jabber for everyone who is licensed for it 
and then include in your normal onboarding? Does someone care if it’s 
configured and not used?

Subject: Re: [cisco-voip] Creating Jabber for non-existent phones

[EXTERNAL]

Forgive my ignorance here, since I do not do day 2 ops work often (thus quick 
add's set backs are not top of mind), I mostly focus on new deployments, which 
typically involve BAT, so what is the trouble/uniqueness in Jabber CSF devices 
versus a physical phone?  Also, how come Option A doesn't mention the Jabber 
piece?  Is that implied that you would come back around and add Jabber 
afterwards, like you would do in option B, post DN add?

Hello all. Looking for feedback and opinions and caveats.

Right now, we’re deploying Jabber only to those with phones/DNs. But, we need 
to start deploying Jabber for those individuals without phones/DNs.

Our SOPs include using Quick Add feature. (Thanks a million time Brian Meade 
for the pointer).

My choices so far, to address Jabber for new those without phones:

(a) Create a fake hardware phone first. This has many benefits, namely, all 
SOPs remain the same. Hardware phone would be deleted afterwards.

(b) Use Directory Number admin page to create/update a DN first, then use Quick 
Add page to assign DN to user accordingly and then click manage devices and 
follow remaining SOP steps.

(c) create line templates and use those when creating new extensions under 
quick add. The issue with this is we have so many combinations, I’d need a lot 
of templates.

I’m leaning towards (b), since it gives me the best of both worlds.

Thoughts?

Lelio
