Restricting Manage Groups 5.1

Hello, I downloaded the windows messenger adm template file to have more
control over the windows messenger features, but there is no option that I
can find to control the ability to manage or not manage groups for people
connecting to the exchange server.

Would this be something that is controlled through exchange such as a group
policy feature that I cannot find or is there another way to grey out the
manage groups feature so that it cannot be used? This is a feature that we
employed at another site and are trying to keep it the same across all. Seems
no one can remember how to do it though.

Thanks

Greetings Carito,

You mentioned Exchange -- are you connecting to Exchange IM? If so, Exchange IM has no group
support, so this really shouldn't be an issue fro you.

yes we are using windows messenger 5.1 to connect to an exchange server. So I
guess as you stated there is no support and this would be the reason that the
manage groups option is greyed out?? Does the new Live messenger support
connecting to an exchange server?
 
Hi,

Yes, that would be the reason it's grayed out. No, Exchange IM support is supported in
Windows Messenger only. There are no plans for a new Exchange IM client [ever?].
