| | Live Messenger in Windows 2003 Terminal Server A couple of months back Live Messenger forced an upgrade on our Windows 2003 Terminal Server because the old version stopped being funtional. So we upgraded. The new version says it does not support the Windows 2003 operating system. We are screwed. We had come to rely on using Windows Live Messenger for our Terminal Server users. I can not find one single anser as to why this is no longer supported in this environment or if there is a version due out to support this environment. Does anyone know? Come on Microsoft.. don't be afraid to let us know! |

| | Re: Live Messenger in Windows 2003 Terminal Server Greetings Eric, Windows Live Messenger 2009 isn't supported on Windows Server below 2008. Why? Who knows. However, you can install it yourself manually by just installing the necessary MSIs and dependencies.
