I used a plugin with WLM 8.5 which notified me if my contacts did signe in from different PC.
Unfortunately this is not working with WLM 9 and plugin maker shows no interest to continue with this, so I thought I ask here if is possible to make a script that show this information.
Messenger used to send out this information, and if nothing has changed in WLM 9 then still is I guess.

Possible with script? No?

Before WLM9 there was nothing in the protocol about multiple point of presence which has what has been added in the newer version to allow you to login simultaneously on multiple computers. Unfortunatly this information isn't made available to scripts.

No, I think she means that she could tell what computers her contacts were logging in on....

I don't know how this would have been possible before though.....what data did this script give you?

Yes, i'm talking about contacts logging in from different pc-s (home or work example). WLM sent (maybe still is) out this information to servers.

This plugin was made available only under private beta testing and never to public, so I can not put it out (i'm talking about Messenger Discovery private beta).

Was hoping someone does know how to get this info with plus script and make one.

As far as I remember this information is only shown for you not your contacts. Your WLM doesn't care what computer they are logged into. The other thing could be that since MD works deep in the protocol of WLM it could be sending its own message about which computer the contact signed into. However this is a security flaw one would thing.

It was shown for contact Thrust me, I did use it and it worked accurately.

But what I am saying is this isn't information that is supplied by Windows Live Messenger. Messenger Discovery would have to be sending this information. Messenger Discovery, if I am not mistaken, acts as a proxy which means any information sent from Windows Live Messenger to the servers is captured.

So, it's not possible to do with script I guess

That is correct. It is not possible.

Okey   Thanks for your replies anyway.
