Office365 - Conversation History

I have noticed when I move my account from our on premise Skype for Business server to be homed instead in our Office365 tenant 2 of the Skype for Business client settings getting turned from off to on.

 

They are:

 

Save IM conversations in my email Conversation History folder

Save call logs in my email Conversation History folder

 

How do I force our Skype for Business online policy's to set these options as disabled?

  • Hi Craig, you will need to modify the existing SfBO Client Policy that is assigned to that user, or create a new SfBO Client Policy and assign it to that user (performed through PowerShell).

     

    The two settings you need to set within that client policy are;

    1.) EnableCallLogAutoArchive $False

    2.) EnableIMAutoArchive $False

     

    Both of these are enabled by default in the SfBO default Client Policy, but changing them to false will fix your problem.

     

    Kind regards

      Hi Chris, yes found that in my research thanks. Is there no way to sync our policies from our local server to O365? I would prefer the local deployment to be authoritive and any changes we make there to flow up to O365, or is the only way to change the policy directly in O365?

        You'll need to manage the policy directly in O365 I'm afraid blue-man. Client policies are relative to where the user is homed, so on-premises client policies can't be applied to users that are homed in SfBO.

         

        Kind regards
