We are using Windows Messenger 5.1 with Live Communications 2005. Is there a
way of editing the registry to disable the .NET passport account funtionality
of the Windows Messenger client without affection the SIP communications
service account. We would like to not have users configuring Windows
Messenger with there .net accounts.

thanks

I found this info that was posted by somebody elso last year which solved my
problem:

Dependent upon the version of Live Communications Server that you have,
there is an .adm template that you can use in a GPO. The RTCClient.adm
template is either "installed" on the server (LCS 2005), or available on the
LCS 2003 CD.

There is a template called RTCClient.adm. This template is located in
your %windir%/inf directory (generally C:\Windows\Inf) on the LCS server and
on any server/workstation where the LCS 2005 administrative tools are
instaled.

If you installed the tools on your domain controllers, then it should be
right there and ready to use. Otherwise, you may need to copy it up. Note:
I prefer to create a new GPO, remove all of the other templates, and then
add the RTCClient.adm template. ...not a best practice, just a preference.
