SYMPTOMS

When you run the Microsoft NetMeeting 3.01 Resource Kit Wizard, any customizations that you make are only implemented for the user that installs NetMeeting on the local computer. These customizations do not appear for any other users that logs on to the computer.

CAUSE

This issue occurs because the [NetMtg.Install.PerUser.W95] and [NetMtg.Install.PerUser.NT] sections of the Msnetmtg.inf file are not being updated correctly by the NetMeeting Resource Kit Wizard to include new resource kit sections. Therefore, when a user logs on to the computer and user profiles are enabled, only the Per User information is updated and not the NetMeeting Resource Kit customizations.

RESOLUTION

To resolve the issue:
  1. Start the NetMeeting Resource Kit Customization Wizard, and then build your custom package.
  2. Decompress the package to produce the Msnetmtg.inf file by typing the following command at a command prompt:

    <package name>.EXE /T:C:\TEST /C

    where TEST is the name of the folder you have created to store the decompressed files.

  3. Edit the Msnetmtg.inf file in the C:\TEST folder using Notepad, which is included in Windows NT or Edit.com, which is included in Windows 9x. Modify the following sections:

    Before Modification

    [NetMtg.Install.PerUser.W95]
CustomDestination = NetMtg.Existing
AddReg            = NetMtg.Install.Reg.PerUser
DelReg            = NetMtg.CleanPrev.Reg.PerUser
UpdateInis        = NetMtg.Install.Inis.PerUser,NetMtg.Install.Inis.PerUser.W95

[NetMtg.Install.PerUser.NT]
CustomDestination = NetMtg.Existing
AddReg            = NetMtg.Install.Reg.PerUser
DelReg            = NetMtg.CleanPrev.Reg.PerUser
UpdateInis        = NetMtg.Install.Inis.PerUser,NetMtg.Install.Inis.PerUser.NT

    After Modification

    [NetMtg.Install.PerUser.W95]
CustomDestination = NetMtg.Existing
AddReg            = NetMtg.Install.Reg.PerUser, NetMtg.Install.Reg.NMRK
DelReg            = NetMtg.CleanPrev.Reg.PerUser,NetMtg.Install.DeleteReg.NMRK
UpdateInis        = NetMtg.Install.Inis.PerUser,NetMtg.Install.Inis.PerUser.W95

[NetMtg.Install.PerUser.NT]
CustomDestination = NetMtg.Existing
AddReg            = NetMtg.Install.Reg.PerUser,NetMtg.Install.Reg.NMRK
DelReg            = NetMtg.CleanPrev.Reg.PerUser,NetMtg.Install.DeleteReg.NMRK
UpdateInis        = NetMtg.Install.Inis.PerUser,NetMtg.Install.Inis.PerUser.NT
    After you have made the above changes, save, and then close the Msnetmtg.inf file.
  4. Copy the custom package, the new Msnetmtg.inf file, and the Updfile.exe file into the C:\Program Files\NetMeeting Resource Kit\OutPut folder. The Updfile.exe file is located in the C:\Program Files\NetMeeting Resource Kit\Tools folder.
  5. Run the following command at a command prompt:

    updfile.exe <package name>.EXE MSNETMTG.INF

    Now the package contains the appropriate entries to allow the customizations to function with user profiles.
