Post xpsp2 messenger problems

[richa]

I have had a quick look through the forums but can't see
anything like this. I am about to roll out service pack 2
on a 150 workstations. As we use network broadcasts to
keep users up to date with information I need to have the
messenger service running. I know that it is turned off
by default in sp2 and have found that there is a way to
allow a program to start the Alerter service or the
Messenger service before the program uses either of these
services. However I can't seem to see any information on
how to do this

Any one got some advice?

Your source, please?

You're referring to Windows Messenger or "messaging"?

More like the Windows Messaging SERVICE.
