disabling conversation history -S4B Online
Yes sir, the script works for the whole org, and definately works with O365 s4b. Since it is actually setting a policy for the organization it applies to future users too. I did get complaints from some users that found archiving their s4b convos helpful, but the executives overrode any complaints.
Updating an old thread since this thread shows up in search results. This can now be simplified - no longer necessary to supply the tenant ID, and no longer necessary to select one of the pre-canned policy tags like "ClientPolicyNoSaveIMNoArchivingNoIMURL"
Instead you can now use the global policy like this:
set-CsClientPolicy -Identity Global -EnableIMAutoArchiving $false
This was possible as of March 10, 2017 when custom policies were announced. Previously you had to use one of the pre-canned policies. See Jamie Stark describe this new capability here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMorELgzoXc&feature=youtu.be
Hi Joe
Thanks for the reply, I actually already have EnableIMAutoArchiving set to false in the Global ClientPolicy. This disabled the IM history for the desktop clients, but mobile clients are still having IM information to outlook.
I am looking for a way to disable to mobile client IM history as well.
Did you ever find a fix for this? We are seeing conversation history saved in the mailbox from S4B used via OWA (and I wouldn't be surprised if the mobile client is too). We have it turned off for clients, but can figure out where to disable the rest.
- You can either turn off conversation history from the client or from the tenant, the information above is how to turn it off from the tenant.
