Security
I have a network with around 3000 pcs & we started rolling out XP. My query is whether there are any network security issues allowing Windows Messenger to run.
I'd prefer to stop it at my firewall so my second question - what port number does messenger use
thanks - in anticipation

With file sharing as the obvious issue, there have been one or two security issues with the various Messenger versions. For help with the firewall aspect, check out what MS has to say:

Allowing any IMs means you are opening some security holes..and its up to the security incharges decision weather its required or not..and depends on the comapny/employee requirement.
And regarding FW/Messenger I think the follwoing URL can help you.
