Set-CsArchivingServer

Enables you to specify a new database location for one or more Archiving Servers. This cmdlet was introduced in Lync Server 2010.

Syntax

Set-CsArchivingServer
   [[-Identity] <XdsGlobalRelativeIdentity>]
   [-ArchivingDatabase <String>]
   [-Force]
   [-WhatIf]
   [-Confirm]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

Archiving Servers provide a way for you to save complete transcripts of the instant messaging (IM) sessions that take place in your organization. In some organizations, it can be useful to have copies of these IM sessions. In other organizations, where records must be kept of all electronic communications, it can be mandatory to have copies of these IM sessions.

Archiving Server records the transcript of each IM session (as well as information about when the session took place and who participated in the session) in a SQL Server database. The location of this database must be specified when you install Archiving Server; in most cases, you will not need to change the location of that database. However, if a hardware failure or other problem should occur, you can point Archiving Server to a new database by using the Set-CsArchivingServer cmdlet.

Examples

-------------------------- Example 1 ------------------------

Set-CsArchivingServer -Identity "ArchivingServer:atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com" -ArchivingDatabase "ArchivingDatabase:atl-sql-001.litwareinc.com"

The command shown in Example 1 changes the location of the Archiving database for the ArchivingServer:atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com Archiving Server . In this example, the new database is located at ArchivingDatabase:atl-sql-001.litwareinc.com.

Parameters

-ArchivingDatabase

Service location where the new Archiving database is located. For example: -ArchivingDatabase ArchivingDatabase:atl-sql-001.litwareinc.com. Make sure you use the service location and not the SQL Server path when specifying the database location.
