Chat and Terminal Services

[Guest PRMolina]

Can someone recommend a good chat solution that is compatible with Win 2003

sp2 terminal services in app mode?

Is Trillian a good solution?

Any horror stories/gotchas I should be aware of?

I'm tasked with implementing this in the next week or so. No budget, other

than my time, Nat.

 

Thanks!

I'm also in the opening stages of researching collaboration suites; Is

windows Live messenger a piece of / related to Office Live Meeting?

 

Do you think waiting and implementing chat as part of an overall solution

would be a better choice - also looking a sharepoint - although I'd like to

get Something in place this month.

No, Windows Live Messenger is the free download from Microsoft. I suppose it

depends if your company plans to use IM as a supported communication

mechanism, where it'd have to be encrypted, backed-up and always available.

If that is the case, then I'd look at Office Communication Server
