User Profiles and Plugins
How to insure that plugins (Firefox and WinWord) for each new user that logs into a computer for the first time? Would the following allow for that:
https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/multiple_profiles
Or is there another technique?
Or impossible?
If impossible, it means that Zotero is difficult for users on an enterprise level.
Thanks,
Stephen

For Word, if you can include Zotero.dotm in the Word Startup folder, that'd do the same that the reinstall button does.
This should work automatically on first-run on Zotero, but if it doesn't, that's the way to go.
For the connector -- I may be misunderstanding, but that's a Firefox add-on like any other, so you'd use the enterprise install methods for Firefox add-ons. Mozilla has documentation here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Distribution_options/Add-ons_in_the_enterprise
So, this:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Zotero\extensions\zoteroWinWordIntegration@zotero.org\install\Zotero.dotm
which would usually gets copied during installation/reinstall here (for me):
C:\Users\sklein\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP\Zotero.dotm
Would be installed where?

So wondering if there is a hack to place in a more general place?

For the Word template, there is no way to set a global template store for all users. Instead, the recommended procedure is to add a script to the user profile setup process that copies the template from a global store (i.e., from C:\Program Files (x86)\Zotero\extensions\zoteroWinWordIntegration@zotero.org\install\Zotero.dotm) to the user's personal Word startup folder when the profile is created.
