I have a network with about 100 machines on it. Some of
the new machines run Windows XP and have messenger 4.7
installed on them. I want to keep the messenging service
installed on the machines, but I only want users to be
able to IM other people on our domain. How do I do
this?
 
I am using Exchange IM Server. Sorry for leaving that
out. Since this is the case, how can I go about
restricting access to only internal. Can I set it up so
that all accounts can only contact users that are listed
in the GAL?

Greetings Danny,

Although there are registry keys that you can set to

restrict Windows Messenger to use an
Exchange IM Server or SIP-based Communications Service
Click to expand...
(which I assume you're not using,
since you didn't mention it), there is no way to

restrict the use of Messenger to just
internally if you're using the public .NET Messenger

Service. All messages go to and from
the public Messenger servers, so it's nearly impossible

to make this type of restriction.
