Use
this utility to install or remove a Connection Manager Service Profile
(CMStP). The Connection Manager provides access to a number of
specialized user connections. For example, the Connection Manager could
allow access to a Virtual Private Network (VPN). You can find a
description of this and related technologies at http://www.windowsitpro.com/Windows/Article/ArticleID/4981/4981.html. This utility uses the following syntax:
ServiceProfileFileName.exe /q:a /c:"cmstp.exe
ServiceProfileFileName.inf [/nf] [/ni] [/ns] [/s] [/su] [/u]"
cmstp.exe [/nf] [/ni] [/ns] [/s] [/su] [/u]
"[Drive:][Path]ServiceProfileFileName.inf"
The two syntaxes are
completely different. This utility allows these two forms of access for
managing profiles. The following list uses Syntax 1 and Syntax 2 to
reference these two command line syntaxes since the command line
arguments differ for each and describe each of the command line
arguments.
ServiceProfileFileName.exe
Specifies
the name of the installation package that contains the profile that you
want to install. This argument appears as part of Syntax 1. Notice that
Syntax 1 actually relies on the installer package to call this utility,
rather than calling the utility directly.
/q:a
Specifies that
the installer package should install the profile without prompting the
user. The CMStP utility still displays the installation succeeded
message. This argument appears as part of Syntax 1.
[Drive:][Path]ServiceProfileFileName.INF
Specifies the
configuration file that contains instructions for installing the
profile. The CMStP utility assumes the information (INF) file appears in
the same directory as the installer package when using Syntax 1, so you
can't use the drive and path arguments as part of Syntax 1. You should,
however, include the drive and path arguments as part of Syntax 2
unless the INF appears in the current directory.
/nf
Prevents the CMStP utility from installing the support files.
/ni
Prevents the
CMStP utility from creating a desktop icon. All newer versions of
Windows ignore this command line switch since they create a desktop
shortcut (see the /ns command line switch); it's only valid with Windows
NT 4.0 and the Windows 9x versions.
/ns
Prevents the CMStP utility from creating a desktop shortcut. All newer versions of Windows use this command line switch.
/s
Specifies that
the installer package should install or uninstall the profile without
prompting the user. In addition, the installer package won't display
verification or success messages.
/su
Specifies that
the installer package should install the profile for a single user (the
currently logged in user) rather than for all users. You can only use
this command line switch with versions of Windows XP and newer.
/u
Uninstalls the service profile.
