Disabling Messenger with group policy in Windows 2000 server

I am running Windows 2000 servers (service pack 4) and am trying to set up a
group policy to automatically disable the Messenger service on startup
through group policy. Is it just me or is it not possible? I cannot find the
policy anywhere. In computer nor user...in hardware, software, or
administrative templates. Am I just blind or does it not exist in 2000? I
know it does in 2003. Thanks in advance for the help.

For a Group Policy at the domain or Organizational Unit level look under
computer configuration/Windows settings/security settings/system services.
It will also show under Domain Security Policy but not in Local Security
Policy. --- Steve
