Deploying Thunderbird across Active Directory

Hi,

I'm trying to deploy Thunderbird across active directory but am not entirely sure where to start. I have an Active Directory of around 100 users, each with a Gmail account, using Gmail apps for work - that gets its users from the Active Directory LDAP service. As such, each user has the same username and password for their Gmail account as their windows login on our domain.

Therefore, once Thunderbird is installed on every computer on the network, is there a way to load a default profile when a user logs in. However, it needs to login to the standard Google mail server but using the username (which would be the email specified in each users profile) and their password, both of which can retrieved from Active Directory. I assume I'm not the only one who's looked at doing this, but every results regarding Thunderbird and Active Directory are about using an LDAP global address list.

Cheers

I really think you might do a whole lot better on the Enterprise mailing list. I am not aware of any regulars on this forum that are involved in Corporate/Business deployments. https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/tb-enterprise
