Configuration

With the Topology Builder tool, most of the configuration is done automatically. Although both configuration and administration can be done from the Silverlight web GUI or the Lync Server management shell, the configuration section focuses on the former and the administration section on the latter to avoid duplication of concepts.

Open the Lync Server Control Panel, which can be found at https://<pool_FQDN>/Cscp/.

After the Lync Server Control Panel is open, click the Topology button in the left bar. Find the new Archiving server in the list or search for it using the search box at the top. Ensure that there is a green check mark for Service Status, as shown in Figure 8.8. This indicates the archiving service is running and responding.

Scroll down in the left bar and click the Monitoring and Archiving button. This brings up the settings menus for the Monitoring and Achiving Server roles. Because Call Detail Recording and Quality of Experience Data are Monitoring functions, skip directly to the Archiving Policy tab. Here, you see the default Global Policy. Select it and click Edit–—Show Details.

The available options are

• Name—The name of the policy

• Description—Your own notes to identify the policy

Along with two check boxes:

• Archive internal communications

• Archive external communications

By default, the check boxes for archiving internal and external communications are cleared. To enable archiving for these types of communications, check the boxes and click Commit in the upper area of the interface.
