Introduction

Server 2010 communications software to have more control over the data
associated with an organizer's Web conferences. Scenarios include the ability

Description

This tool allows the administrator to perform the following
operations:

  1. Find all Web conferencing data associated with a
    single user.
  2. Delete all Web conferencing data associated with
    a single user.
  3. Delete all Web conferencing data associated with
    a single user that is older than a certain date.
  4. Move all Web conferencing data associated with a
    single user when that user is moved from one pool to another.

Note   In the previous list, the fourth operation
works only afterthe administrator has moved a user from one pool to another.

The Web Conf Data Tool deletes or moves meeting data only for
meetings that are inactive. Active meetings (or meetings in sessions) cannot be
deleted.

This tool must be run from a computer that is in the same
pool as the target user. The user whose meeting content data is being managed
by this tool must be homed in the same user pool as shown in Table 1.

Output

This tool outputs the results of each of the following
operations:

- If a query is performed, the tool outputs a list of all inactive meeting data folders that have a user as an organizer.

If a delete is performed, the tool outputs a  
list of all meeting data folders whose data is going to be deleted.
  • If a move is performed, the tool outputs a list
    of all the meeting data folders that were moved.

Purpose

This tool allows an administrator of Lync Server 2010 to
have more control over the data associated with an organizer's Web conferences.

Requirements

The tool needs to be run in the same pool where the
organizer is currently homed or from either pool in the case of a user move.

The tool must be run using administrator privileges with access
to the Meeting Data store.

Examples

WebConfDataTool.exe
/User:user0@contoso.com /Action:query ""/ExpirationDate:08/09/2010
12:00:00""

The preceding example shows how a query command would work. The
output of such a command would be a list of all meeting content folders that
would be affected by this tool.

WebConfDataTool.exe
/User:user0@contoso.com /Action:delete

The preceding
is an example of a delete command. The delete command removes all inactive
meeting folders from this user.

WebConfDataTool.exe
/User:user0@contoso.com /Action:move /OriginatorPool:pool0.contoso.com
/TargetPool:pool1.contoso.com

The preceding is an example of a user move command. Upon success,
this command moves all the user's data from pool0.contoso.com to pool1.contoso.com.

Summary

This tool can be a valuable resource to administrators who need
more precise control over conference meeting data.
