    I tried various settings, disabling the IM Filter, etc. There is any way to make an URL link in the IM Chat clickable (highlighted), or it's always just plain text ?

      This should be the case right out of the box.

      Is this just internal to internal, or internal to external? Are you having any other issues? What do your validation wizard results look like? Can you let us know more about your setup?

            This can be fixed through Group Policy called "allow Hyperlinks in instant messages"

              I have the same issue as the original poster, but I can't seem to find that group policy.  How do I change that group policy?

                Figured it out. You have to downloaded the Communications 2007 documentation, which provides communicator.adm. Copy communicator.adm to to your %windir%\inf directory, edit an appropriate group policy, import the communicator administrative template and then edit the policy from there.

                  I was able to find the .adm file.  I'm not sure I know what to do from there.  I used the GPO editor and imported and selected "Allow hyperlinks in instant message"  I selected enable.  What do I do next.  Do I need to reboot the server or restart any of the OCS 2007 services?  I still can't get clickable URLs.  Any help would be great.  Thanks

                    Hello,

                     

                    You can also make URLs clickable by updating Windows registry. This is similar to group policy settings. For steps refer to KB article: http://imwire.eventure.biz/imwire/articles/41.aspx

                     

                    Regards,

                    Vivek

                      This worked flawlessly.  I recommend this request

                        This works great for http type addresses.. but i wish there was a way for things like unc paths.. \\server\file.txt
