Create new group policy and e.g. link it to OU (Organization Unit) where
your Windows XP and Windows 2000 clients are in (computer accounts).
Change
the following policy Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security
Settings > System Services. Here find a service called Messenger and
double
click on it. Check the checkbox next to "Define this policy setting" and
select "Disabled". Close all Windows related to Group Policy Editor. See
if
it applies desired settings on your client, but not it can take some time
(few hours) before all clients pick up new settings.
