[TriLUG] IM (Jabber and others... doing windows)

Have you looked into using LCS (Live Communications Server)? I know its
not a Linux offering, but ...it works out well.

Well, I hope everyone had a good Labor day weekend.  As those of you on
IRC noticed, I didn't.  One of several things to go wrong that day was
that lightening struck and killed our PBX/Voicemail system.  our
provider was able to get the PBX back online that night, but the
voicemail bit was down all yesterday, throwing our people into havoc.
One of the things I've been tasked to look at now is internal IM as an
option, rather than calling/e-mailing everything.

The original idea as put to me, well, it caused convulsions.
(Originally, let's get everyone to get an MSN passport, and use
messenger.)

So I immediately thought of Jabber.  I played with jabber on the trilug
servers back when it first came up... but I wanted to know if it was
possible to get a (any) jabber server to authenticate users against a
windows 2003 domain?  (I found reference to a module smbauth, which
appears defunct.  and to openldap auth, which I can't find concrete
examples of working with windows.)

Any help is, as always greatly appreciated.
