Q195319: Inherit User Config Option Does Not Work for Modem Callback

Article: Q195319
Product(s): Microsoft Windows NT
Version(s): winnt:4.0
Operating System(s): 
Keyword(s): 
Last Modified: 11-DEC-2001

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0, Terminal Server Edition 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

The Terminal Server configuration utility (Tscfg.exe) and User manager
(Usrmgr.exe) do not seem to correctly communicate configuration information
concerning modem callbacks.

Callbacks can be set for each connection by TSCFG or for each user by USRMGR.
TSCFG should take priority, or the setting can be set to inherit from "User
config" by selecting the Inherit User Config option. However, the Inherit User
Config option does not work and is ignored. In all cases TSCFG options take
effect.

CAUSE
=====

The problem is caused by Winlogon and not by the configuration utilities.


RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows NT Server
4.0, Terminal Server Edition. For additional information, please see the
following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

STATUS
======

Server Edition. This problem was first corrected in Windows NT Server 4.0,
Terminal Server Edition Service Pack 6.
