Blocking a user from using MS Messenger
Hi
We have a few users that are spending an extraorinary amount of time using MSN messenger. Does anyone know how I can block one user from accessing the program, while allowing other users to continue with access (We use it for communication with some customers)
The only info I have been able to find so far involves blocking the PC - by editing the registry - or blocking all users.
Thanks
Kas

Answer Wiki:
This is not directly in answer to your question, but I have put monitoring software (tcpdump) watching a user's IP address and then massaging the output to provide HR with definitive evidence of misconduct.
However, I wouldn't touch anything like that without HR's blessing. I don't need a lawsuit in my life.
As for other approaches - You can simply configure a router or firewall to block the traffic - just sniff it first to make sure you have all the right values.
If you're in a DHCP environment, configure the DHCP server to lock down the user's IP address to a known value to keep them from moving around.
