Hi,<br>
<br>
when a new version of firefox/thunderbird (ff/tb) is released, the
users will be notified<br>
very soon. Often there is not enough time to test and deploy the new
version before the<br>
users get the update notification. Since most users don´t have admin
rights, this results in help desk calls.<br>
How do you manage this in your environment? Do you use WPGK to copy
a preconfigured<br>
user.js or do you inject the settings directly into the prefs.js? Or
do you use Group Policy Preferences?<br>
I guess WPKG is designed for running in the security context of the
computer (at startup), but in this case the user context would be
preferable.<br>
I would like to do the following:<br>
<ul>
<li>running wpkg at logon (not startup)</li>
<li>pick the correct path to the ff/tb profile folder<br>
how? there might be one ore more profiles...maybe with a script:
for each subfolder in rootfolder do...or by reading the
profiles.ini...</li>
<li>disable auto updates via user.js or prefs.js (but only for
non-admin users)<br>
</li>
<li>be happy ;)</li>
</ul>
<p>Regards,<br>
Holger<br>
