While I totally agree with Ed..... For me I find people and even management do not follow the rules, not to mention the people who come and with their laptops and just plug into your network..with out approval..consulatants, auditors etc....
With that said... You might have to get a thrid party app I use a combination of Surfcontrol URL filter (other URL type filters do all kinds of clever stuff) Just purchased Axionx L7 (hey well they do want IM so I have to manage it some way) Facetime makes a nice product too... BUT there' no free lunch Even though you policy is write to prohibit users from changing, loading,,,...etc.... It does happen and I have yet to be able to get somone fired for doing it Dispite getting hammered by a viures which took aprt s of the networ down for day's 2 cents Good luck Bill -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ed Crowley [MVP] Sent: Friday, April 16, 2004 11:50 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Disabling Instant Message & 3rd Party email access Oh, and I forgot the obvious one. Get your CEO to update the company policy, and send a message to all employees informing them that IM is prohibited. Then enforce the policy. There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems.
