MSN Messenger as LAN messenger?

I'm not sure if this is true, but I heard somewhere that you can configure
MSN messenger to login in via Active directory accounts to act as a lan
messenger? is this true? if so where can i read up more on it? Thanks

It's been a while (2 years) since I looked into this, but as I understood
it, there was a component of Exchange server that had it's own Instant
Messaging client.

That product was not 'MSN Messenger', however. You might ask a similar
question in Exchange Server related groups.

Just out of curiousity, what sort of lan messaging scenario are you
interested in?

No, MSN cannot work as Lan messenger.

Is this an enterprise deployment? Are you going to be investing company
money in deploying something of this nature? If so, what sort of target
value would you be looking for in, perhaps, a dedicated Instant Messaging
Server? How many clients do you expect to service for that amount?

Sir, I request you to try Outlook Messenger for Lan Chat. The best Lan
Messenger software having many features Lan Chat, Group Chat, Desktop
Sharing, Voice Chat, Reminder & Popup Notes. Download 20 days fully

With Exchange 2000 you can use Windows Messenger 4.7. This service was
pulled form Exchange 2003. If you're looking for a Microsoft product, you
can go with Live Communications Server, however if you don't need all the
collaboration that Live CS gives you, might I recommend you consider a
smaller 3rd party LAN IM program.

And the fact that you work for the maker of this best LAN Messenger software
is in no way influencing your position now is it?
