How can I do update on Asterisk PBX that directory names should load automaticly to
each IP 501 as Speed Dial info?

Thank You for any hints.

I wrote an application that

I wrote an application that takes all of the names/extensions from the voicemail directory and creates a directory file for each phone that has been provisioned using the end-point manager.

It doesnt make speed dial entries for it - but puts it under the "Directory" button on the phone.

If this is something you are interested in, let me know - I will send you the exe....

A few items about my app (because I am not a pro developer nor am I a linux guy....)

1 - You run my app from a Windows PC on the network, not on the TB server itself.
2 - My app only adds extensions with voicemail - so conference rooms and such dont get added.
3 - You need to TEMPORARILY turn on SMB and configure open shares to /asterisk and /tftpboot for this to work (I can help you to do that if you are unsure how to do it.)
4 - Any custom directory entries the users may have done on their individual phones will be overwritten with the new "global" directory....

If you still think my app will work for you - just send me an email and ill send it out to you.

Yes Todd I can try to use

Yes Todd I can try to use it. This is a real pain update every .xml for extension updates every time we hire new one or if someone is leaving the compony.

Thank You.

You should consider other options

One would be and LDAP server using the Corporate Directory. The other would be using the microbrowser to list the directory. Then you never have to update each phone, just one update the LDAP (which is updated when you add employees, probably) or just update the xhtml page you created the directory on.

Just an idea.
