messenger in a corporate environment
Greetings,
You can use Messenger in a corporate environment if you setup an Exchange 2000 IM Server or Live (SIP) Communications Server on the local network to connect to. Otherwise, yes, it's just Passport/Windows Live ID accounts and the global .NET Messenger service. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger/MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com All posts unless otherwise specified are (c) 2007 Jonathan Kay.

messenger in a corporate environment
I've currently got 5.1.0701 installed, and Communicator. I was using 5.x for
months without a problem (SIP based). An add on (Plus) has features of: --log conversations (and encrypt) --tab interface The current Communicator installation seemed better at first, but now it is frustrating and not very stable when you leave windows open (i prefer to leave windows open for a few days due to the nature of my work and the type of contacts...it's very helpful to be able to scroll back in the same conversation to lock task-orient. details within the topic thread - it prevents you from having to do all the context memory work with every new thread - it really speeds me up). Oh and communicator isn't that stable with that many windows open (it's ok with 3 or 4...). For these reasons I'm trying to re-enable my 5.x installation, but somehow all the SIP options are gone, and only .NET is available. I looked in HKLM\Software\Policies\Messenger and there are very few no reg keys there which I assume were deleted when Communicator was installed. How can I recover this situation? This is extremely frustrating. I don't do well with stupid, arbitrary artifical limitations... particularly when "it was working before!". Can you help? Thanks. -Ruddykins "Jonathan Kay [MVP]" wrote: Greetings, You can use Messenger in a corporate environment if you setup an Exchange 2000 IM Server or Live (SIP) Communications Server on the local network to connect to.
