Connection Manager Administration Kit

The Connection Manager Administration Kit (CMAK), which is included in the IEAK, is a wizard that guides you through customizing and configuring the Microsoft Connection Manager dialer. The CMAK creates a self-extracting executable (*.exe) file that installs itself on your user's computer. Then when your user clicks the custom icon to connect to the Internet, the custom dialer dialog box that you created appears.

You can create a customized dialer to provide users with a quick and easy way to connect to the Internet and to a corporate private network. With the CMAK, you can use your own custom icons, tailored help files, and special animated graphics to control the look of your Connection Manager dialer.

You can also control the functionality of Connection Manager. For example, Connection Manager supports Connect Actions. Connect Actions are small executable programs that start when the dialer connects to or disconnects from the Internet or a corporate private network. You can use Connect Actions to differentiate your service and simplify connection by automating tasks for your users.

If you've already created a custom profile by using the CMAK, you can import it while you are using the Internet Explorer Customization wizard. Or, you can start the CMAK while you are using the Customization wizard, and then create a custom profile for that IEAK package.
