Deploying Windows Messenger 5.1

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.messenger (More info?)

Is there a way to deploy and control contact lists for an Windows 2003
Server organization using GPO or something similar? I not only want to
pre-configure contact lists, but I want the ability to amend/remove contacts
as well, establish basic client settings, etc etc...


TIA,
Bob

There is GPO for Windows Messenger, I'm looking at it right now.

I have XP SP 2 (all patches) plus Windows Messenger 5.1

Open Group policy on your MMC and you will find "Windows Messenger Policy
Setting's"
