I assume so given the geographic distance and likelihood of high network latency. A monitoring server can support CDR records for 2 pools - I assume you have associated each pool with this one monitoring server in Singapore? Also, you say 'user call details @ one location' - do you mean from one of the pools or a user in a specific office (location)? If it is users in one of the Pools (e.g. in the US) make sure the pool is associated with that monitoring server and check the event log on the front-end server in the pool for MSMQ errors trying to reach the monitoring server. The front-end for those users (you are missing call details) will need network connectivity to the monitoring server in Singapore. Hope that helps, Curtis Hi Kumar,

If you want a full reporting solution, Quest software has a recently added BPOS support to their flag ship Exchange and Lync reporting product which has usage and license reports: http://www.quest.com/messagestats/ Curtis Hi,

So it cannot be reported on. There are a couple of binary fields (columns) that might have that information, but I doubt it. Not sure about Lync - will check into that. Curtis Hi,

The peer-to-peer reports require the Call Detail Record (CDR) functionality to be enabled (at the Forest level and the Monitoring Server attached to the Enterprise Pool or Standard Front-End) - have you done that?

My initial intent of the post was for feature usage (how many, how often, etc...), but the quality of usage is definitely as important in understanding how your deployment is being used, and for troubleshooting.
