Microsoft® Office Communications Server 2007 Archiving and CDR Server provides a solution for archiving instant messaging (IM) conversations and group conferences and for capturing usage information related to file transfers, audio/video (A/V) conversations, application sharing, remote assistance, meetings, and conferencing servers in call detail records.
