Using Group Policy

But just to be sure, you want to deploy a chat client to servers???

Not to server to the Desktop machines. – Travis Aug 25 '10 at 15:43

We run Spark in our environment. I found it very easy to deploy Openfire (which is the xmpp server that the clients will connect to, they can't talk to each other without one) on a windows server on top of SQL server. It has been invaluable to us so far. We also use the Fastpath plugin for our site for live sales and tech support chat.

Check out the Openfire install documents, its super easy, and can be up and running (and integrated into AD!) within 30 minutes.

EDIT: Also, this is my interpretation on how to "deploy", unless you are looking for an actual way to push out the client.
