SUMMARY

This article describes how to connect to a person or conference with NetMeeting using the command line. This information is useful if you are creating a batch file program or a login script.

To initiate a conference with a specific user or to connect to an existing conference using a command line, use the following command:

rundll32.exe msconf.dll,CallToProtocolHandler
server/email@mailserver.com.

where server is the name of the Internet Locator server (ILS) the user is logged in to, and email@mailserver.com is the e-mail address used to log in to that ILS.

NOTE: These lines should be entered as one single line, not wrapped as shown above. Also, the command line is case sensitive in Windows NT.
