From: SteveP on 28 Nov 2006 10:19 Hi Myweb: I'm afraid I have a follow up question. On clients the Messenger service is now Automatic (where it was disabled before). But it is not Started. I'm on the right track, but what have I missed to Start the Messenger service? -- Thanks, Steve "myweb" wrote: > Hello SteveP, > > Is the security of your GP configured to "apply group policy" for domain > computers?
