Archiving settings of a user account can be configured on the Communicationstab of Propertiesfor a user, if the individual user has been enabled for Office Communications Server 2007 R2 and you have configured global archiving settings to archive conversations and usage information on a per-user basis. For details about how to configure the global archiving settings, see Enabling IM Content Archiving.
Archiving settings are applied as follows:
- When you change the global archiving option from
Archive according to user settingsto
Archive for All Usersor
Do not archive for any user, the change is not effective
until the next register refresh window. The register is refreshed
every ten minutes for external users and every two hours for
internal users.
- When you change the global archiving option from
Archive for All Usersor
Do not archive for any userto
Archive according to user settings, the change does not take
effect for a user until the next time the user logs on.
- When the global archiving option is set to
Archive according to user settingsand you enable or disable
archiving for a user (for internal messages or federated messages),
the change does not take effect until the next time the user logs
on.
To avoid problems with the implementation of archiving settings, you should change archiving settings during off-peak hours.
In order to archive messages, you must first deploy the
Archiving Server. For details about deploying the Archiving Server,
