Remove-CsPersistentChatPolicy
Removes an existing Persistent Chat policy. Persistent Chat policies determine whether or not users are allowed access to Persistent Chat chat rooms. This cmdlet was introduced in Lync Server 2013.
Syntax
Remove-CsPersistentChatPolicy
[-Identity] <XdsIdentity>
[-Confirm]
[-Force]
[-WhatIf]
[-Tenant <Guid>]
[<CommonParameters>] Description
The Persistent Chat service (which replaces the Group Chat service used in Microsoft Lync Server 2010) 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.
By default, users are not granted access to the Persistent Chat service; that access can only be granted if the user is managed by a Persistent Chat policy that allows for the user of the service. When you install Skype for Business Server, all your users are managed by a global Persistent Chat policy in which the use of Persistent Chat is disabled. If you want to give all your users access to the service you can simply set the EnablePersistentChat property in this global policy to True. Alternatively, you can create additional policies at the site or at the per-user scope and thus provide Persistent Chat access to some users while denying this access to other users.
Skype for Business Server Control Panel: To remove a Persistent Chat policy using the Skype for Business Server Control Panel, click Persistent Chat and then click Persistent Chat Policy. Select the policy to be removed, click Edit and then click Delete.
Examples
-------------------------- Example 1 --------------------------
Remove-CsPersistentChatPolicy -Identity "RedmondPersistentChatPolicy"The command shown in Example 1 removes the per-user Persistent Chat policy with the Identity RedmondPersistentChatPolicy.
-------------------------- Example 2 --------------------------
Get-CsPersistentChatPolicy -Filter "site:*" | Remove-CsPersistentChatPolicyIn Example 2, all the Persistent Chat policies applied to the site scope are deleted.
To do this, the command first uses the Get-CsPersistentChatPolicy cmdlet and the Filter parameter to return all the Persistent Chat policies configured at the site scope.
(This is done by using the filter value "site:*".) These policies are then piped to and deleted by, the Remove-CsPersistentChatPolicy cmdlet.
-------------------------- Example 3 --------------------------
Get-CsPersistentChatPolicy | Where-Object {$_.EnablePersistentChat -eq $True} | Remove-CsPersistentChatPolicyIn Example 3, all the Persistent Chat policies in which Persistent Chat is enabled are deleted.
To carry out this task, the command first calls the Get-CsPersistentChatPolicy cmdlet without any parameters; this returns a collection of all the Persistent Chat policies configured for use in the organization.
This collection is then piped to the Where-Object cmdlet, which picks out only those policies where the EnablePersistentChat property is equal to true ($True).
That collection is then piped to the Remove-CsPersistentChatPolicy cmdlet, which deletes each policy in the collection.
Parameters
-Confirm
Prompts you for confirmation before executing the command.

-Identity
Unique identity of the Persistent Chat policy to be deleted. To remove a site-scoped policy, use syntax similar to this:
-Identity site:Redmond
To delete per-user policy, use syntax similar to this:
-Identity RedmondPolicy
The Remove-CsPersistentChatPolicy cmdlet can also be run against the global Persistent Chat policy.
In that case, however, the global policy will not actually be deleted.
Instead, all the properties in the global policy will be reset to their default values.

-Tenant "38aad667-af54-4397-aaa7-e94c79ec2308"
You can return the tenant ID for each of your Skype for Business Online tenants by running this command:
Get-CsTenant | Select-Object DisplayName, TenantID

| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
