At a previous company I worked for we had issues with employees using it to taunt each other. Since the only audit trail is in the local machine's event logs, it is very difficult to keep track of who is abusing the service. We ended up disabling the service company wide.
However, the local machine event log entry *does* the NetBIOS name of the sending machine, making it easy to track that, at least. Given only minor sleuthing (and a lack of poorly configured multi-user machines), tracking who did what when, in this case, is pretty simple.
