I've been trying to accomplish the exact same thing. There was a registry
key that only allowed Exchange IM connectivity for Messenger, which was
great, but now that we're testing the migration to Live Communication Server,
we don't have a way to disable .NET logon. Please help...? I'd rather block
access to the options entirely versus blocking traffic at the firewall (and
having people complaining that they configured it but doesn't work, and then
going through the IM policy with them again...)
