I was wondering if anyone used a chat program to allow the users to chat with each other in the network and did not allow the user to chat with someone outside out network. For instance, AIM would NOT be an option. When our users had Macs, we used iChat's Rendevous (or Bonjour). We are now all using Citrix and lost the ability to use iChat. Any ideas?

...seeing it on Server 2003... Most of our users connect to a desktop session on the Citrix server. Any ideas as to where? I remember there being a folder called "Microsoft NetMeeting" in the Program Files folder on XP (i believe) but I don't see it on Server 2003. Add/Remove Windows Components, maybe?

Click on start-----run----type the following in the run box---conf---hit ok.
This will start netmeeting up on the server.

I need something free or very cheap. I don't need anything special like file transfers, pictures or anything... just strictly chat...

What about Windows Messenger? Do you need a "passport" to use it or does it have a "local network" setting or something along those lines?

Great product....You can also setup your own MSN chat service (as I understand it) with MS collaboration tools

Not a MS product.
just do an internet search on it. Its not free but no huge bucko's either. We use it corporate wide and it works perfect.

Set up an internal Jabber server and you can configure and use clients such as Gaim or Spark.
