You can enable or disable Archiving for specific sites by creating and configuring an Archiving policy for each of those sites. A site policy overrides the global policy, but user policies override site policies. Archiving policies only apply if you do not use Microsoft Exchange integration or, if you do use Microsoft Exchange integration, but have some users who are not homed on Exchange 2013 and have their mailboxes put on In-Place Hold.

For details about how Archiving policies work, including the hierarchy for global, site, and user policies, see How Archiving Works Planning documentation, Deployment documentation, or Operations documentation.

Note:
If you enable Microsoft Exchange integration for your deployment, Exchange In-Place Hold policies control whether archiving is enabled for the users who are homed on Exchange 2013 and have their mailboxes put on In-Place Hold. For details, see Setting Up Policies for Archiving When Using Exchange Server Integration in the Deployment documentation.

You should specify all appropriate options in the Archiving configurations before enabling Archiving of internal or external communications in the Archiving policies. For details, see Configuring Archiving Options in the Deployment documentation.

To create an archiving policy for a site

  1. From a user account that is assigned to the CsArchivingAdministrator or CsAdministrator role, log on to any computer in your internal deployment.

  2. Open a browser window, and then enter the Admin URL to open the Lync Server 2013 Control Panel.

  3. In the left navigation bar, click Monitoring and Archiving, and then click Archiving Policy.

    For details about how Archiving policies work, including the hierarchy for global, site, and user policies, see How Archiving Works Planning documentation, Deployment documentation, or Operations documentation.

  4. Click New, and then click Site policy.

  5. In Select a site, click the site to which the policy is to be applied.

  6. In New Archiving Policy, do the following:
