Adding a new Skype for Business Archiving target using PowerShell

You can use the New-EVSkypeForBusinessTarget PowerShell cmdlet to add a new Skype for Business Archiving target.

To add a new Skype for Business Archiving target using PowerShell

  • In the Enterprise Vault Management Shell, run the New-EVSkypeForBusinessTarget cmdlet, and specify the following:

    • The site ID using the -SiteId parameter (optional).

    • The fully qualified domain name of the computer running Skype for Business Server. Use -TargetComputerFQDN.

    • Whether to start exporting from the Skype for Business target to the holding folder immediately. Use -Enabled.

    • The Enterprise Vault server that hosts the SMTP Archiving task. This task processes conversations that are associated with the Skype for Business archiving target. Use -EVServer.

    • The retention category to associate with the Skype for Business archiving target. Use -RetentionCategory or -RetentionCategoryId.

    • The archive to associate with the Skype for Business target. Use -ArchiveId, or -ArchiveName with -ArchiveType.

For example:

New-EVSkypeForBusinessTarget -TargetComputerFQDN "skype01.example.com" -Enabled $true -EVServer 'EVServer.example.local' -RetentionCategory 'Standard retention' -ArchiveName SFBLocal -ArchiveType smtp

This adds skype01.example.com as a new Skype for Business archiving target. The new target will be available in the Administration Console, as well as in the Management Shell.

If you do not specify a site ID and New-EVSkypeForBusinessTarget cannot determine the site, you are prompted to enter the site ID.

New-EVSkypeForBusinessTarget fails if you specify a Skype for Business archiving target that already exists.
