Admin: How do you increase the auto-accept period on Mac client?

If server-side conversation history is turned off in your organization, by default, the Skype for Business on Mac client will auto-accept incoming messages if the message arrives within 5 minutes of the Mac client being active.

To increase/decrease the time to auto-accept on the Mac client from the default 5 minutes, follow either of these steps:

Create a configuration profile with the appropriate key and value and install it on a managed Mac. Creating and installing configuration profiles is out of the scope of these steps; see Configuration Profile Reference .
