RE: [ActiveDir] Windows Messenger Contacts

[Dan DeStefano]

We have not considered it because right now IM is not considered mission-critical. Plus, we need to allocate our budget to other projects instead at this time. Exchange 2000 and Windows Messenger is currently all we need, I am just wondering if there is an easier way to manage the contacts.   _________________________   Daniel DeStefano PC Support Specialist   IAG Research 345 Park Avenue South, 12th Floor New York, NY 10010 T. 212.871.5262 F. 212.871.5300   www.iagr.net Measuring Ad Effectiveness on Television   The information contained in this communication is confidential, may be privileged and is intended for the exclusive use of the above named addressee(s).

This is based on the SIP protocol and is rather better than Exchange conferencing server technology. I’ll check into this functionality under LCS.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dan DeStefano Sent: 24 November 2004 17:48 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] Windows Messenger Contacts   Is it possible to have the Windows Messenger client dynamically populate the contacts list from the Exchange GAL? Is there a way to do this manually? I saw an article on the MSDN site that says this can be done: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url="">, however, I am not a programmer and would not even know where to begin implementing this. We are using Windows Messenger 5.0 and Exchange 2000 Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dan DeStefano
