Configuring Filtering for Instant Messaging (IM)

Modify the Default File Transfer Filter

To modify the default file transfer filter

To modify the default file transfer filter, use the Set-CsFileTransferFilterConfiguration cmdlet and set the Identity to global . For example, this command adds the file extension .ps1 (the file extension used for Windows PowerShell scripts) to the set of file types that cannot be transferred using Microsoft Lync:

Set-CsFileTransferFilterConfiguration -Identity global -Extensions @{Add=".ps1"}

And this command removes the .ps1 file extension from the list of file types that cannot be transferred using Microsoft Lync:

Set-CsFileTransferFilterConfiguration -Identity global -Extensions @{Remove=".ps1"}

Create a New File Transfer Filter for a Specific Site

To create a file transfer filter for a specific site

To create a new collection of file transfer filter configuration settings, use the New-CsFileTransferFilterConfiguration cmdlet:

New-CsFileTransferFilterConfiguration -Identity site:Redmond -Extensions @{Add=".ps1"}

Modify the Default URL Filter

To modify the default URL filter, use the Set-CsFileTransferFilterConfiguration cmdlet and set the Identity to global . For example, this command adds the prefix .urn to the set of Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) that either cannot be included in an instant message or cannot be configured as a clickable link within an instant message:

Set-CsImFilterConfiguration -Identity global -Prefixes @{Add="urn:"}

This command removes the prefix .urn from the collection of blocked URIs:

Set-CsImFilterConfiguration -Identity global -Prefixes @{Remove="urn:"}
