Tin Cups and String: The Convergent Microsoft UC Blog

Have you ever been in that situation where someone tells you that the meeting invite for LiveMeeting 2007 is confusing.  If you are a cloud LM user then you get to edit that message.  But if you really like OCS 2007 R2 and just want to edit that darn thing, what can you do because you cannot edit the message out of the box.

Well, you can but it’s not supported.

Tools Needed:

Visual Studio Express or another DLL hacking tool like Resource Hacker (http://angusj.com/resourcehacker/)

Live Meeting Client DLL: c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\livemeeting shared\en-us\confapisat.dll

Download Resource Hacker or Visual Studio and open the DLL.  Search for the string in the DLL you wish to change.  Edit the DLL text of the string.  Compile DLL.  Save DLL and distribute DLL to other workstations.

Shutdown Outlook.  Start it back up and you now how the ability to edit/modify the LiveMeeting Invite.  So like I said, it’s not a pretty solution but for those emergencies it allows you to edit it.  One last note.  You cannot delete any lines from the text so if you want to remove something completely you need to use a white-space ” ” instead.

Thanks to Mark over on the TechNet world for starting the conversation on this one http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en/ucconferencingscheduling/thread/851b7462-0c35-4520-9526-6911953eb2e8.
