I am running a mixed mode school network with NT4 / 2000 and 2003 Servers
along with a mix of 98 / NT4 / 2000 and XP clients.
I have had a serious incident today of a student accessing the net send
command line sending rude messages to all and sundry. I have been asked to
rectify the problem.
My first thought was to disable the local messenger service on the
workstation, this had the opposite effect - I could still send to everyone
but not receive the message back. so I gather from that exercise the
messenger service is the receiving agent for NET SEND messages.
What I would ideally like is for the student workstations to be disabled
from sending the messages and staff workstations have 2 way access. Can I
change the permissions on NET.EXE even though I am using NET USE statements
in my logon script?
I am now toying with the idea of enabling IM on my Exchange 2000 standard
edition server, can I do this and centrally assign a messenger contact list
with peopole in groups that I set?
Finally, can I globally disable the NET SEND infrastructure? is there a
messaging program I can distribute to staff for administrative purposes?
Regards
