We are trying to investigate a user that is sending instant messages and chatting using MSN Messenger. Does anyone know if there are log files, or readable copies of the IMs and chats that are stored on the hard drive of the user's PC?

Any assistance would be appreciated, as we have not dealt with this type of thing before.

Thanks in advance.

The new msn has the logging feature but the user can turn it of.

You can use packeteer or another network sniffer program to capture the data form that machine.
On the (w2k) server that is functioning you can also enable network monitor service to capture the data.
Or install a IM server locally so the users have to login to that server in order for the IM to work.
