Support for Jabra Xpress

Hi there, we are very interested in Jabra Xpress, but I do not wish to mass-remove hundreds of PMPC installs of Jabra Direct and lose automatic updates from PMPC. Can anyone confirm or verify this PowerShell method works to connect an JabraDirect installation to Jabra Xpress?

Thanks!

The MSI is the same as far as I have always seen. The "package" they create includes a batch file with a single line. That line includes a package id to associate to the Jabra system for analytics and configurations. If the application is added, then the package id would be required by the admin to add as an install argument and that value is the only unique value required.

It appears that this is a service to build your own custom MSI online:

https://jabraxpress.jabra.com/windows-desktop

If each MSI is built on the fly then it will be impssible for us to validate this download by its hash value. Therefore this will have to either be done via Custom Apps, or by the XML/script method suggested below.

Here's the PowerShell I've added as a post-install script for Jabra Direct to enroll the clients in Jabra Xpress. Just be sure to put your package token in the <packageToken> tag (which you can obtain from the installx64.cmd file in the Jabra Xpress package you download from the Jabra Xpress admin portal):

$file = @"

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<root>

   <PackageToken>**YOUR_TOKEN_HERE**</PackageToken>

   <XpressUrl>https://backend-xpress.jabra.com</XpressUrl>

</root>

"@

$jdPath = Join-Path $env:Programdata "Jabra Direct"

If (-not (Test-Path $jdPath)) { New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path $jdPath }

Set-Content -Path "$jdPath\jabradirect.xml" -Value $file 

+1

Fun fact: Jabra Xpress is just Jabra Direct packaged up in an MSI, with a step added in the installer to create the C:\Programdata\Jabra Direct\jabradirect.xml file. Just deploy Jabra Direct instead and add a post-install script to create the XML file.
