Adding Custom Text to Instant Messages

Topic Last Modified: 2010-11-08

Add a disclaimer or warning to the beginning of every Microsoft Lync 2010 instant messaging (IM) conversation by using the New-CSClientPolicy or Set-CSClientPolicy Lync Server Management Shell cmdlets with the IMWarning parameter.

The command in the following example adds a security reminder at the top of the Conversation window whenever a new IM conversation begins:

	Copy Code
New-CsClientPolicy -Identity IMSecurityNotice -IMWarning "Remember, security is everyone's responsibility. Keep it confidential."

Use Grant-CSClientPolicy to assign this new policy to users. For details, see New-CSClientPolicy and Grant-CSClientPolicy in the Lync Server Management Shell documentation.
