Description

The Persistent Chat service provides organizations with messaging and collaboration capabilities similar to those found in Internet discussion forums: users can exchange messages in real-time, yet can also revisit and restart those conversations at any time. Conversations can be based around specific topics, and these conversations can be made available to everyone or to only a selected set of users. Likewise, individual chat rooms can be configured so that anyone can post a message or configured so that only designated presenters can post messages.

Persistent Chat discussions take the form of messages posted in individual chat rooms; chat rooms are discussion forums based on specific topics. By design, messages posted in a chat room remain there forever; at any time, users can return to the room and review all the messages that have been previously posted.

However, there might be times when administrators need to clear a chat room of all (or at least some) of its messages; this might done to free up space in the database or because the chat room is changing its focus. Regardless, the Clear-CsPersistentChatRoom cmdlet provides a way for you to delete all the messages in a chat room or to delete all the message posted during a specified period of time (for example, all the messages posted before August 1, 2018).

NOTE: To remove a more finely-targeted set of messages (for example, all the messages posted by a specific user) use the Remove-CsPersistentChatMessage cmdlet.

To return a list of all the role-based access control (RBAC) roles this cmdlet has been assigned to (including any custom RBAC roles you have created yourself), run the following command from the Windows PowerShell prompt:

Get-CsAdminRole | Where-Object {$_.Cmdlets -match "Clear-CsPersistentChatRoom"}

Skype for Business Server Control Panel: The functions carried out by the Clear-CsPersistentChatRoom cmdlet are not available in the Skype for Business Server Control Panel.

Examples

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

Clear-CsPersistentChatRoom -Identity "atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com\ITChatRoom" -EndDate "3/1/2018"

The command shown in Example removes all the content from the Persistent Chat chat room ITChatRoom that was added to the room on or before March 1, 2018.

-------------------------- Example 2 --------------------------

Get-CsPersistentChatRoom | Clear-CsPersistentChatRoom -EndDate "3/1/2018" -Confirm:$False

In Example 2, content added on or before March 1, 2018 is removed from all the chat rooms in the organization. To do this, the command first calls the Get-CsPersistentChatRoom cmdlet without any parameters in order to return a collection of all the chat rooms in the organization. That collection is then piped to the Clear-CsPersistentChatRoom cmdlet, which removes content added on or before March 1, 2018 from each room in the collection. Note that, in order to suppress the confirmation prompt which would otherwise appear each time you tried to clear a different chat room, the Confirm parameter is added using this syntax: -Confirm:$False

Parameters

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before executing the command. If you set the value of this parameter to False then you will not get a confirmation prompt when you run the cmdlet:
