INTRODUCTION
This article describes the compatibility between the Microsoft Office Live Meeting 2005 Add-in Pack and thin client services such as Microsoft Terminal Services or Citrix MetaFrame.



MORE INFORMATION
Compatibility between the Live Meeting 2005 Add-in Pack and thin client services depends on the configuration of the terminal service and of the individual user.

On a desktop computer and on mobile computing platforms, the Live Meeting 2005 Add-in Pack must be installed by a user who has administrator permissions. Power users and standard users cannot install the Live Meeting Add-in Pack. By default, when you install the Live Meeting Add-in Pack, it is available for all users.

In scenarios in which thin client technology such as Terminal Services or Citrix MetaFrame is used, users may be unable to install the Live Meeting 2005 Add-in Pack because users may not have the required permissions.

To resolve this issue, you must install the Live Meeting 2005 Add-in Pack by using a software management tool such as Microsoft Systems Management Server. Do this to create a set of registry keys when the user logs on to the computer for the first time.

The Live Meeting 2005 Add-in Pack must be installed by a user or by a process that has administrative permissions.

When you install the Live Meeting 2005 Add-in Pack, changes to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software registry subkey are copied to the following subkey:

This registry subkey is known as the shadow area.

The registry data in the shadow area is copied under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry subkey when the user logs on to the computer for the first time.

In some cases, this data may not be available to the current user. Or, the data may require editing to make sure that all necessary directories are writeable and to make sure that the registry keys are unique for each user. If this is the case, you can create the required registry keys by using a customized logon script.
