Two of these products are IMSecurity
from Symantec, which uses Enterprise Vault for archiving; and FaceTime Enterprise Edition.
Each product provides its own collection mechanism, making the Archiving and CDR Server
useful only for CDR collection and as a secondary source of data collection when using these
products.
The Archiving and CDR Server can purge data after a certain number of days, if
required; this is confi gured on a per-server basis through the OCS Administration Tool. The
maximum days logged can range from 0 to 2,562, with the recommended value being seven
days; if you are using a third-party product for long-term storage, you should set this to a
value that ensures that data is collected for long-term storage. Third-party products may take
care of removing old data themselves.
To confi gure the maximum number of days logged follow these steps:
1. Click Start | All Programs | Administrative Tools | Offi ce Communication
Server 2007.
2. Once the administration tool has loaded, expand the Forest tree.
3. Expand Archiving and CDR Servers.
4. Right-click the Archiving and CDR Server and select Properties.
5. Check the Maximum Days Logged checkbox and enter the number of days in
the Number of Days box.
6. Click Apply followed by OK.
7. Restart the Archiving and CDR Service for these settings to take effect.
It is possible to restrict purging to off-peak hours to try to prevent a performance impact;
you can confi gure off-peak hours through WMI in the same way you modify other WMI
archival settings.
