This is the design behavior and is controlled by the UnauthenticatedUserGracePeriod WMI setting documented in the OCS Administration Guide (see below)...
Managing Meeting Life Cycles
Meeting life cycles are controlled by the following processes:
· Deactivation. Deactivating a meeting ends the instance of the meeting, but the meeting continues to exist in the database and can be reactivated and rejoined.
· Expiration. When the expiration time is reached, the meeting and all associated meeting content are deleted from the database. The default expiration time is 14 days.
Meeting deactivation and expiration are primarily automatic processes in Office Communications Server 2007. However, there are three WMI settings that the administrator can use to modify the meeting deactivation and expiration processes.
For conference deactivation, there are two pool-level WMI settings that are stored as properties in the MSFT_SIPMeetingScheduleSetting WMI class in the root\CIMV2 namespace, as described in Table 12.
