Hi Steve, You need to block the *.messenger.msn.com domain and prevent them from using the MSN Messenger protocol. There are many ways to do this, of course. Send me a note and I'll send you the .xml file of an Access Rule I used to block MSN Messenger without blocking Hotmail. As always, clients are configured as Web Proxy and Firewall clients! Not to do so would dumb down the ISA firewall to that of a common PIX :) HTH, Tom www.isaserver.org/shinder Tom and Deb Shinder's Configuring ISA Server 2004 http://tinyurl.com/3xqb7 MVP -- ISA Firewalls -----Original Message----- From: Steven Andreca [mailto:sandreca@xxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, November 17, 2004 12:56 PM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] MSN Messenger blocking http://www.ISAserver.org Anyone knows how to block MSN Messenger on ISA Server 2004? (Or in the Default Domain Policy for that matter?). You can block the built-in Messenger (4.7 I think) but not newer version, which apparently find their way through HTTP. The only way I managed to do it is a combination of blocked destinations: 207.46.104.20 207.46.110.1 - 207.46.110.254 64.4.0.0 - 64.4.63.255 gateway.moswest.msn.net messenger.hotmail.com I'm not sure which one does it but it works. However, the 2 other problems I have now: 1. I can't access Hotmail's page either. 2. Most of the times I cannot access Windows Updates. If anyone has a better solution I'd greatly appreciate sharing it with me.
