Hi,

Is there a resource kit/WSH for windows Msgr5.1 that allows me to configure
the users sip address to their login, which is the upn and is the same as
the sip anyway.

Cheers
OZ.

you're talking about the client configuration (WM5.1), arent' you?

There's no official WSH script for this task. All what you would
have to do is to set the appropriate registry values. You'll find all
required values beyond HKCU\Software\Microsoft\MessengerService.

For example:
- UserMicrosoft RTC Instant Messaging (REG_SZ)
- RTCState (REG_BINARY)
- Transport (REG_BINARY)
- ServerAddress (REG_SZ)

BTW, using group policies won't work, because REG_BINARY
values can't be set using GPOs.

Regards

Of course now that you have all expended efforts an article gets published
with info. If you can provide feedback on its value that would be great. I
am interested to know if it meets your intended purpose before bulk
recommendation.

Yes i too switched to the Reg console app a day later.

I am still importing a bit more than just the user details, as my users are
so I.T illiterate i even setup there groups for them.
