SUMMARY
This article describes how to ban certain users from accessing your Exchange 2000 Chat Service computer.



MORE INFORMATION
To ban a user from a chat community:
 * 1) Click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Exchange, and then click System Manager.
 * 2) Browse to the Bans folder for the chat community that contains the user that you want to ban.

NOTE: This folder is located under the Exchange Site name.
 * 1) Right-click the Bans folder, click New, and then click Ban.
 * 2) On the General tab, type the user nickname, user name, and domain name or Internet protocol (IP) address.

You can enter the asterisk (*) and the question mark (?) as wildcard characters in the Nickname, User name, and Domain name or IP address boxes if wildcards are necessary.

NOTE: The chat community that is protected by the ban is identified by the domain name or IP address.
 * 1) To limit the ban to a particular time of day, in the Time active box, type a start time and end time. All times are based on the local computer time.
 * 2) To indicate the reason you are banning the user, in the Reason for ban box, type the reason.

To ban a group of users, use the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in to create a group for users, add the group to the account, and then ban the group. For more information, see the Microsoft Windows 2000 Server online documentation.
