As a business, we were going to put our company logo on all the phones - Cisco does NOT provide a method of deploying this background in bulk however!
I used the method of putting the backgrounds on the TFTP server, so now all the phones can "see" the background image - the problem I'm having, is now how do I set this background to all the phones?
The only methods that have been suggested to me were a) phone designer, (which is NOT a bulk method) b) some "voip-integration" software that was $90, and in my testing I could not get to work. It also needed access to my desktop from every phone in the network... The admin was not willing to open that up. And c) using WGET to push HTTP traffic that would literally simulate user button presses... as if the user was changing the background manually. I wrote an AHK script to do this for me, and it works... but it doesn't seem completely consistent (could be my script, or some latency) - but the main issue is the users will FREAK if they see their phones doing stuff on its own. So that method is pretty much out... but it seems will be the only one I can work with.
I'd love to hear any other/better methods for achieving this... thanks!!
