  Hi,

  Conversation history in Outlook is working out of the box.

  The archiving you refer to is another function/role for SFB server. This has to be configured and enabled manually.

  Difference is that the Archiving you are referring to are stored in a database on SFB environment. THe conversation history is stored in users mailbox.

  Hello

  conversation history and archiving are two different thing to disable conversation history you need to disable the feature on lync client policy.

  Set-CsClientPolicy -Identity "your client policy" -DisableSavingIM:$true

  DisableSavingIM When set to true, the options for saving an instant message session are removed from the menu bar in the Skype for Business Conversation window. When set to false, these options are available in the Conversation window.

  Agree with others

  Skype for Business lets you find previous instant messaging (IM) conversations that is the history of your IMs 
  and calls by integrating with Microsoft Exchange & Outlook. 
  
  In order to use this feature all you have to do is, On your Skype for Business client, click on Option and then click 
  Personal.
  Under Personal Information manager, we need to check if the options 
  Save IM Conversations in my email Conversation History folder 
  Save call logs in my email Conversation History folder 
   
  And the information can be looked under ‘Conversation History’ folder in Outlook or under in the SFB
  Client.

  Hi DHLao,

  Welcome to post in our forum.

  As a supplement, the data from conversation history in outlook is stored in Exchange mailbox.

  For Lync Archiving server, it archives instant messaging (IM) and conferencing (meeting) communications, the data will be stored in Lync archiving server, not in Exchange mailbox.

  If you use Microsoft Exchange integration for all users in your deployment, you don’t need to configure Skype for Business Server archiving policies for your users. Instead, you configure Exchange In-Place Hold policies to support archiving for users homed on Exchange, with their mailboxes put on In-Place Hold.

  If you do not use Microsoft Exchange integration for all users in your deployment, you need to add Skype for Business Server archiving databases (SQL Server databases) to your topology, publish the updated topology, and then configure archiving policies and settings for your users. You can deploy archiving databases at the same time that you deploy your initial topology or after you have deployed at least one Front End pool or Standard Edition Server.

  Hope this reply helpful to you.
