Is WLM designed to NOT work on our terminal server; Windows Server 2008 x64 running terminal services. I have tried about 10 times to get it installed and while it seems to work (following Jonathan Kay’s recommended steps), it always fails. I can get one or two users logged in, but it’s very sporadic and it’s never the same users. We have about 30 users all on Wyse V10L thin clients attached to the TS mentioned above. WLM works fine on our 2003 terminal server, but it will not work on the new one. I would use Office Communicator 2007, but our exchange box is running server 2003. I’ll be upgrading that one next, so this issue will be moot at some point. For now my IT head is on the e-chopping block.

Instant messaging (IM) is a type of online chat that offers real-time text transmission over the Internet. A LAN messenger operates in a similar way over a local area network. More advanced instant messaging can add file transfer, clickable hyperlinks, Voice over IP, or video chat. Non-IM types of chat include multicast transmission, usually referred to as "chat rooms". Depending on the IM protocol, the technical architecture can be peer-to-peer (direct point-to-point transmission) or client-server (a central server retransmits messages from the sender to the communication device).
