How do I setup a Microsoft IM service, internal only?

[Guest]

I have a customer that would like to set up a secure Internal-only Windows
instant messaging for the employess to communicate between 4 buildings. How
is the best way to do this? Again, this is internal only...the client does
not want the employees out in the public with the IM...

You can use Live Communication Server for that;

Thanks!

Have you deployed LCS?

The client is running MS 2003 and Exchange 2003 and XP and want to enable 80
users...Just want to know of any successes...

I've only tested it in a lab environment. You can download a trial version
from the website or look at a demo. If you have Mac clients you'd also be
quite pleased to hear that they just released an updated Messenger that
allows you to connect to the LCS.
