When two note instances are published less than 30 seconds apart, the latest publication of the noteHistory will replace the most recently prior publication of the noteHistory instance.
otherOptions	0	Published to Container 1 as a static instance containing the permissions to use the personal information manager when such information is changed.

Published, by Aggregation Script, to Container 32000 as a user-bounded instance containing an empty value.
state[@type='aggregateState']	0	Published to Container 32000 as a static instance containing an availability number of 18500 indicating the Offline presence status.

state[@type='aggregateMachineState']	0x10000000	Published to Container 2 as a user-bounded instance containing the current aggregated machine availability status determined by that of the most active device that has the lowest availability number.

	0x24000000	Published to Container 2 and 3 as a time-bounded instance containing the availability number of 6500 when the user sets the availability mode to Busy.

By default this publication expires in 24 hours if it is left unchanged.
state[@type='machineState']	A hash dependent on the device GRUU and of the 0x3YYYYYYY format	Published to Container 2 and 3 as an endpoint-bounded instance when the local user signs in, when the device timeouts because it becomes idle or away, when the device is disconnected or reconnected, or when the device detects a mouse or keyboard activity. However, when a not-the-most active device has an active machine state published three times in three minutes, further detections of user input on this device will not cause any new publication of an active machine state until the device becomes idle or until three minutes has elapsed.
state[@type='calendarState']	A hash dependent on the SMTP address and of the 0x4YYYYYYY format	Published to Container 2 and 3 as an endpoint-bounded instance containing an availability number of 6500 (Busy) and an “in-a-meeting” activity token, plus any specified meeting subject or location about an ongoing meeting scheduled in the Microsoft Exchange calendar store.

	A hash dependent on the local user’s SIP URI plus the phone device GRUU and is of the 0x7YYYYYYY format	Published to Container 2 and 3 as an endpoint-bounded instance containing an availability number of 6500 (Busy) and the “on-the-phone” activity token when the user has established a RCC phone call.
	A hash dependent on the local user’s SIP URI plus the phone device GRUU and is of the 0x9YYYYYYY format	Published to Container 2 and 3 as an endpoint-bounded instance containing an availability number of 6500 (Busy) and the “on-the-phone” activity token when the user has established a UC-enabled PSTN phone call.
userInformation	0	Published to Container 1 as a static instance containing the use-specified Phone options. The information is used to construct contactCard of Instance ID 1.
userProperties	0	Published to Container 1 as a static instance containing the server-provisioned user identity information. The information is used to construct contactCard of Instance ID 0.
workingHours	0	Published to Container 1 as a static instance containing the Microsoft Exchange-provisioned workingHours information. This is used by the call routing script to block in-bound calls outside of the user’s working-hours period.
