Hi,

Put a firewall in place (?)

Get a PC, two(+) ethernet cards and install Linux with 2.4 kernel
(RedHat, SuSE, etc).

Install iptables package, then download and install
Firewall Builder (http://www.fwbuilder.org/index.html)

Info on how to block these IM services is at

http://www.oofle.com/messaging/index.htm

-  seems to work here


                                Regards,

Subject: Restriciting use of MSN Messenger



        This is not strictly to do with exchange, but I would like to run it
past all you techies out there !
        I need to stop a user running MSN Messenger & Excite messenger
services. I have forced IE to use a proxy, but this does not stop the
messenger services. User has W2K workstation. Network is NT4,SP6a No
firewall in place ! (So that is not an option!) Does anyone know of a policy
that would work ??? Thanks in advance...
