I need to block all IM from my employees

Publicly fire one employee for using it, the rest will comply.

While I realize that blocking and otherwise derailing them might be the
fastest/easiest (?) method for dealing with your hr problem, have you
considered asking their help to solve the problem?

In my firm, everyone uses IM. In fact, it's a requirement. In addition,
everyone writes the rules for company conduct -- or at the least, feels they
write the rules. The result is that we're pretty content people on the
inside. I find that when their is buy-in by all, you don't have rebels or
sneaks.

Might be worth a try?
