IT Employment

IM and messenger need to contact the central servers prior to being able to start up and poll their buddy lists.
Since that info is not stored on the local machine.
Exch however does have a chat service which I beleive would be more suited to what you are looking for.
If you look in your services on the exch server, you will see MS exchange chat.
This will need to be enabled.
It uses IRC, so your end users would need an IRC client.

a neat little freeware server the IM client could use and run it on your internal, point IM to it and block the regular IM port.
This may be illegal, so you may want to check with your legal department, but if it is approved, I'd sure like a copyif possible :>
Lord Infidel is right though, the new Outlook is pretty incredible for this - you can even video chat with each other, if this is desired......
For a lower tech network on a budget you could just install a chat room with privateroom capability possibly if you're a pretty small company, or use win pop-up or go to Jumbo or Rocketdownload and probably find something that will work.

L.I. was talking about Exchange, Apologies!
That would work, perhaps for you too.
The new Outlook is really incredible for stuff like this though.

Your Orgnization may need to use ISA server that can block IRC protocol for spacific clints.
as our Orgnization is using it in Intigration Mode
