Modifies an existing collection of Web conference settings. Web conference settings determine such things as the maximum allowed size for meeting content and handouts; the content grace period (that is, the amount of time content will be stored before being deleted); and the URLs for the internal and external downloads of the LiveMeeting client.

Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Identity |
Optional |
Xds Identity |
Unique identifier for the collection of conferencing configuration settings to be modified. To refer to the global collection, use this syntax: -Identity global. To refer to a collection configured at the site scope, use syntax similar to this: -Identity "site:Redmond". To refer to a collection at the service scope, use syntax like the following: -Identity "service:ConferencingServer:atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com". The Conferencing Server service is the only service that can host these configuration settings. If this parameter is not specified then Set-CsConferencingConfiguration will automatically modify the global settings. |

Detailed Description
When it comes to Web conferences management and administration is split between two sets of cmdlets. If you want to dictate the things that users can and cannot do (for example, can users invite anonymous participants to join a conference; are users allowed to offer application sharing and/or file transfers within a conference; etc.) then you need to use the CsConferencingPolicy cmdlets. But that’s only one piece of the puzzle. The other piece: the need to manage Web conferencing servers and server settings. For example, administrators need to be able to do such things as specify the maximum amount of content storage allotted to a single meeting and to specify the grace period before that meeting content is automatically deleted. They also need to be able to specify the ports used for activities such as application sharing and file transfer.
The CsConferencingConfiguration cmdlets represent the missing piece to the Web conferencing management puzzle. These cmdlets enable you to manage the actual severs themselves. The CsConferencingConfiguration cmdlets (which can be applied to the global, the site, and the service scopes) aren’t used to specify whether or not a user can share applications during a conference; if application sharing is allowed, however, these cmdlets let you indicate which ports should be used for that activity. Likewise, the cmdlets also let you specify such thing as storage limits and expiration periods, as well as pointers to internal and external URLs where users can obtain conferencing help and resources.
When you install Microsoft Communications Server the system provides you with a single collection of conferencing configuration settings (the global collection). If you need to create custom settings for a site or service, you can do so using the New-CsConferencingConfiguration cmdlet. After these custom settings have been created, you can modify any of them (and modify the global collection as well) by using the Set-CsConferencingServer cmdlet.
Return Types
Set-CsConferencingConfiguration does not return a value or object. Instead, the cmdlet configures instances of the Microsoft.Rtc.Management.WriteableConfig.Settings.WebConf.ConfSettings object.
Examples
-------------------------- Example 1 --------------------------
 Copy Code |
|
|---|---|
Set-CsConferencingConfiguration -Identity global -Organization Litwareinc |
|
In Example 1, Set-CsConferencingConfiguration modifies the global instance of Web conference settings; to be more precise, the command sets the value of the Organization property to Litwareinc. This is done by including the -Organization parameter followed by the organization name: Litwareinc.
-------------------------- Example 2 --------------------------
| Copy Code |
|
|---|---|
Get-CsConferencingConfiguration | Set-CsConferencingConfiguration -Organization Liwareinc |
|
Example 2 is an extension of the first example; in this case, the command modifies the value of the Organization property for each collection of Web conference settings currently in use. To do this the command first uses Get-CsConferencingConfiguration to retrieve a collection of all the Web conference settings. This collection is then piped to Set-CsConferencingConfiguration, which takes each item in the collection and changes the value of the Organization property to Litwareinc.
-------------------------- Example 3 --------------------------
| Copy Code |
|
|---|---|
Get-CsConferencingConfiguration -Filter site:* | Set-CsConferencingConfiguration -MaxContentStorageMB 50 |
|
The command shown in Example 3 changes the value of the MaxContentStorageMB property for all the conferencing configuration settings applied to the site scope. To do this, the command first calls Get-CsConferencingConfiguration along with the -Filter parameter; the filter value "site:*" ensures that only settings where the Identity begins with the characters "site:" are returned. (By definition, these are settings configured at the site scope." This filtered collection is then piped to the Set-CsConferencingConfiguration, which changes the MaxContentStorageMB property value for each item in the collection to 50.
-------------------------- Example 4 --------------------------
| Copy Code |
|
|---|---|
Get-CsConferencingConfiguration | Where-Object {$_.MaxContentStorageMB -gt 100} | Set-CsConferencingConfiguration -MaxContentStorageMB 100
|
|
In Example 4, all the conferencing configuration settings that allow for content storage of more than 100 megabytes are modified to set the maximum allowed content storage to 100 megabytes. To carry out this task, the command first calls Get-CsConferencingConfiguration without any parameters in order to return a collection of all the conferencing configuration settings currently in use. This collection is then piped to the Where-Object cmdlet, which picks out those settings where the MaxContentStorageMB property is greater than (-gt) 100. This filtered collection is then piped to Set-CsConferencingConfiguration, which takes each item in the collection and sets the value of the MaxContentStorageMB property to 100.
-------------------------- Example 5 --------------------------
| Copy Code |
|
|---|---|
Set-CsConferencingConfiguration -Identity site:Redmond -ContentGracePeriod "22:00:00" |
|
The preceding command retrieves the conferencing configuration settings for the Redmond site (-Identity site:Redmond) and modifies the value of the ContentGracePeriod property, setting the grace period to 22 hours (22 hours: 0 minutes: 0 seconds).
-------------------------- Example 6 --------------------------
| Copy Code |
|
|---|---|
Get-CsConferencingConfiguration | Where-Object {$_.Organization -ne "Fabrikam"} | Set-CsConferencingConfiguration -Organization Litwareinc
|
|
In Example 6, all the conferencing configuration settings that do not list Fabrikam as the Organization are modified; in particular, all these settings are assigned Litwareinc as the new organization. To accomplish this task, the command first calls Get-CsConferencingConfiguration (without any parameters); this returns a collection of all the conferencing settings currently in use in the organization. This collection is then piped to the Where-Object cmdlet, which selects all the settings where the Organization property is not equal to (-ne) Fabrikam. The filtered collection is then piped to Set-CsConferencingConfiguration; in turn, Set-CsConferencingConfiguration takes each item in the collection and changes the value of the Organization property to Litwareinc,
