Darren, Jumping in a little late here, but with the view that 'a firewall isn't really an option', why are you so bothered by the use of MS Messenger? Most, if not all, of us here (and on any other sys admin group) would tell you that a firewall should be your number one option at this time. As far as stopping it, even for a sys admin, look into the group policy options for the system. You do have a larger problem, you would have to play with the domain rights on that system, so he can't use his rights to override what you have put into place. I would suggest you get yourself a couple of good books and start reading. Have Fun Jeff

But it does require thought.

Does your boss agree with your views on messenger? Is your boss this guys boss as well? If you answered yes to any of these questions then let your Boss handle it, this is an HR issue and with your obvious knowledge of 2000 you will not be able to restrict him from using the app. Just my 2 cents Joshua Joshua Morgan [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Darren Ash [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2002 12:38 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Restriciting use of MSN Messenger Unfortunatley YES. I could take it away, but he is kinda part of the support team and therefore needs to know the domain admin password which could be used to override the local admin account! > -----Original Message----- > From: Andy David [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2002 5:25 PM > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: RE: Restriciting use of MSN Messenger > > Does this person have admin rights to their own workstation?
