Notes

• To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Administrators group on the local computer, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority. If the computer is joined to a domain, members of the Domain Admins group might be able to perform this procedure. As a security best practice, consider using Run as to perform this procedure.

• To open Telephony, click Start, click Run, and then type tapimgmt.msc.

• If the user's domain is not listed in the Locations dialog box, try specifying the domain in Enter the object name to select by using the following format:

  domain\username

Information about functional differences
