I have a large number of forms that I've developed, and I need to implement
them in a large number of environments. I'd like to know a quick way to do
this other than to load up my InfoPath/Visual Studio development environment
on their domain, and then go through every single project and sign and
publish them manually. There has got to be a quicker method. The manual
method takes around 3 minutes per form, which means that to do all my forms,
I'll be at it for a full day at each location. I was thinking about some
sort of batch file or something. Any suggestions?

Here is my current manual process:
1. Open my project in Visual Studio. (I'm using InfoPath 2003 Toolkit for
Visual Studio .NET to develop my forms)
2. Manually edit the publishURL of the manifest.xsf file. This location
changes from domain to domain.
3. Open the form in design mode in Infopath.
4. Go to the form security options and mark the form as full trust, and sign
the form.
5. Publish the form to a network share, with an alternate opening location
being a URL. Again, these location change from domain to domain.

Thanks...

Hi Jack,

Refer the following MSDN article which talks about automating the form deployment:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/e...eInfoPathXSNFixupDeployFormTemplateScript.asp

You might have to modify the code snippet to meet your requirements.
