Custom user policy MS Messenger
We want to allow our employees to use MS Messenger, but only to chat to
authorised contacts - i.e. our business contacts rather than their friends. Is there a way to do this and to control the authorised list of contacts by a centralised administrator? Thanks for any help anyone can offer... |

Custom user policy MS Messenger
Greetings,
This is a common request but there is no way to create a white or blacklist of contacts. MSN Messenger is considered a consumer product, there are no GPO settings and no enterprise-level functionality of any kind. For functionality like you're describing, depending on the size they might be interested in deploying Live Communications Server (http://office.microsoft.com/livecomm) or simply implementing something like IMLogic to handle IM security/policies. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com All posts unless otherwise specified are (c) 2006 Jonathan Kay.
