[hylafax-users] Easy way to setup WHFC on multiple boxes?

[Bill Binko <bill-sender-4b2fd6@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,
We are using Hylafax for moderate (50+ faxes/day) inbound operations and
it is working well.

We also have WHFC setup on the client machines, and it also works well.
However, as this small office grows, WHFC configuration is becoming a
larger and larger problem.  We would like to be able to do something like
the following:

1) Install WHFC on one client.
2) Configure the following system information on the machine:
	a) Server name
	b) Max Dial/Max Tries
	c) Other misc settings from the systems setting dialog
3) Setup the modems (or a default) that can be used
4) Setup the following generic user info on the machine (defaults should
be the same for all new users)
	1) "From" entries (company/phone/etc.)
	2) Fax cover location (on shared drive)
	2) ODBC company phonebook info
	3) All entries on "user settings" except for Name, Login, and
Email
5) Setup the postscript printer to use the right port and driver
6) Setup specific info that is specific to the windows user logged in.
For example, if the user currently logged in is "\\DOMAIN\bill", then
logon would be bill, email would be bill@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx, etc.

I would then like to be able to capture the results of this and replay 1-5
on another client machine.  In fact, I would like to be able to say: "To
install WHFC, go to \\sharedsystem\installs\whfc\latest and run the setup
program.  Then, run the file standardsetup.reg (or bat, etc) to setup the
rest of the system".

I realize this is a feature request, and not a bug, but has anyone solved
this problem?  It seems that there should be some way to make this work.
Perhaps a custom installshield?

Any help?

Thanks
Bill
