Disable IM

  • Artikel

What? If I have OCS why would I want to do this. Some schools are deploying OCS for Audio/Video Conferencing and for web conferencing but don’t want IM. I looked at the group policy template for OC and I can’t disable IM from there but I did find this article https://support.microsoft.com/kb/954648/

and it can be done. So if you need to please follow the steps in the KB. The registry entry needed for this is:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Communicator

Add new DWORD DisableIM and set value to 1.

    Many accounts have rules against IM as well, and this allows them to control the feature set while still leveraging the conferencing features.   Very nice!
