Windows Messenger within a corporate environment
Greetings Gareth,
Without an Exchange 2000 IM Server, the only option to connect Messenger locally would be a Live Communications Server, see he http://www.microsoft.com/office/livecomm (some great info here) ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Gareth" wrote in message ... Hi, Could anyone please advise me as to what is required to enable XP Messenger to be used without connecting to the passport service ? We are currently looking for an instant messaging solution and are evaluating our options. We don't currently run Microsoft Exchange but do use Active Directory for authentication. Could some kind soul please advise me of the possibilities ?

Thanks for the speedy response Jonathan. Live Communication Server looks like it's a great product, but it just seems like a very expensive option owing to the CAL requirement.

Hi Gareth,
Indeed, it's not cheap by any means but to be honest, I haven't looked at the prices of the other competing business-IM type products recently. However, those are the only two server solutions for Windows Messenger (unless you can find some other SIP-based product that claims compatibility). If you do decide or want more info on LCS, there's also a separate newsgroup for that he news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...vecomm.general If you find some other product that better suits your needs, I wouldn't mind hearing about it (just for people asking in the future). ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Gareth" wrote in message ...
