Change Auditor for Skype for Business 7.4 - User Guide

Create and edit templates

* 
NOTE:  
•
If the Central Management Store has been moved from one SQL Server instance to another, you must deploy the agent to the new SQL Server instance and create a Skype for Business auditing template.
•
If an agent associated with a Skype for Business template is uninstalled and then reinstalled, delete the template and recreate it.
To create a Skype for Business auditing template:
1
Open the Administration Tasks tab, click Auditing, and select Skype for Business.
2
Click Add to open the Skype for Business auditing wizard which steps you through the process of creating a template.
3
Enter a name for the template.
When you open the Skype for Business auditing wizard, the SQL Server and Instance hosting Central Management Store are retrieved from Active Directory and automatically populated on the page.
However, if the Microsoft Skype for Business Server and the coordinator are deployed in different Active Directory forests, enter the CMS information to continue.
•
Enter the SQL Server fully qualified domain name, and select the Default or select the Named SQL Instance option and enter the named instance name.
4
Enter the credentials required to connect to the Central Management Store database.
5
(Optionally) Select Test Database Credentials to validate the credentials when the template is created to ensure that the database can be accessed.
* 
NOTE: If a trust does not exist between the CMS SQL Server's domain and the coordinator's domain where the client is connected, the test for Windows Authentication may fail even though the CMS credentials are valid.
The agent server is automatically populated with the SQL server name if the Change Auditor agent is deployed on it.
6
Click Finish to create the template and return to the Skype for Business auditing page.
To modify a template:
* 
NOTE: If the Central Management Store database server has changed, redeploy your agent to the new Central Management Store SQL Server, delete the existing template, then create a new template.
1
On the Skype for Business auditing page, select the template to modify and click Edit.
This displays the Skype for Business Auditing wizard, where you can modify the template name and Central Management Store SQL Server credentials.
2
Click Finish to save the changes.

Disable a template

To disable an auditing template:

Disabling a template allows you to temporarily stop auditing the Skype for Business CMS without having to remove the template.
