Configuring Archiving options for a pool in Lync Server 2013
Topic Last Modified: 2012-10-10
You can specify Archiving options to be applied to specific pools by creating and configuring options in an Archiving configuration for each of those pools. A pool configuration overrides the global configuration and site configuration, but only for the pool specified in the pool configuration.
For details about how Archiving configurations work, including the hierarchy for global, site, and pool configurations, see How Archiving works in Lync Server 2013 in the Planning documentation, Deployment documentation, or Operations documentation.
Note
You should specify all appropriate options in the Archiving configurations before enabling Archiving. For details, see Configuring Archiving options in Lync Server 2013 in the Deployment documentation.

From a user account that is assigned to the CsArchivingAdministrator or CsAdministrator role, log on to any computer in your internal deployment.
Open a browser window, and then enter the Admin URL to open the Lync Server 2013 Control Panel. For details about the different methods that you can use to start Lync Server 2013 Control Panel, see Open Lync Server 2013 administrative tools.
