Help with Outlook Journaling of Live Communication Server conversations

[Dab]

Hoping that someone can answer this.....

I used to love the plug-in for Outlook that would 'journal' MS Instant
messenger conversations - unfortunately that plug-in no longer works and is
no longer supported - but that discussion is for another day....

We're shortly going to migrate to MS Office Communicator. Anyone know if
it's possible to have Outlook journal those conversations?

PS: We're also planning on migrating to Exchange 2003 (currently 2000) and
upgrading all clients to OL 2007 (currently using OL 2003) as soon as it
becomes stable.

Thanks for any info.

LCS supports server-level archiving.

Greetings Dab,

For what it's worth, the journal thing has been on the Messenger feature suggestion lists for
years. Which at least initially, were inherited by the Office Communicator group.

Some day, some where, I see a centralized user store for "communications", sadly I think it
died with WinFS.

Hi JK:

Thanks for the answer.

Journaling of Instant Messenger conversations is a really useful and cool
feature! I recently had to build a new workstation and unfortunately, the
3rd party (Mapilab) MS Messaging Outlook Journal plug-in that used to work
on my old workstation no longer works on the new workstation and the product
is no longer supported. To bad. It was a very useful feature.
