O.P. Using MPOP information in scripts
Is it possible to use MPOP (Multiple Points Of Presence) information in scripts?
I searched this forum and the documentation, but I can't find any information on this. It looks like Messenger Plus Live does not supply this information to scripts.

Is there any other way to get this information from WLM?

Not that I know of.

As you correctly found out, Messenger Plus! does not supply any information regarding that.

What exact information do you need? Because some things can be grabbed from the registry, like the place name of the current open Messenger (binary key HKCU\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger\MachineName), or any other value/state of the MPOP options for that matter.

Thanks for your reply.
I want my script to know how many client are logged in for the current user (or less specific: is this the only client). I don't think this information is stored in the registry.

Is there maybe a way to get this information directly from WLM (probably now with a script, but maybe with an external application or dll file)?

It probably must be possible in some way, but I have never investigate it, so I dunno. Maybe someone else knows or have the time to look into it.

Note: it might be as easy as reading some specific Windows object (aka can be done from within a script using the proper APIs), but it might also involve advanced hacking/slashing using external DLLs.

I've got a feeling the information would be sent in the protocol somehow, although we need a better way of sniffing than with xniff due to the problems you described previously

I've looked into it and it does get send in the protocol.
I wasn't aware of xniff but it doesn't seem like a solid solution for my problem, mainly because its not polygamy aware and a few other problems.

Thanks for your help anyway so far.
