Answer Wiki:
Server 2003 alone does not have an instant messenger service, no. There is <a href="http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/communicationsserver/default.aspx?ofcresset=1">Office Communications Server</a> which will provide this service for you, but of course it does cost money. =============== Look into <a href="http://www.igniterealtime.org/projects/openfire/">Openfire</a> and the Jabber IM protocol (XMPP). It's open-source, free and multi-platform

You should download any LAN messenger, make searc h in google, for example first one:
Softros LAN messenger
most of these tools have free trial and don’t require a server.

I use Google Talk for instant messaging – and can easily switch it over to voice calls when typing just can’t keep up to the speed of the conversation
