No I do not believe that IM history is maintained by default. Having said that, a lot of organizations are maintaining e-mail, IM and chat history for compliance purposes. In the case of regulatory compliance such as SEC, SOX and so on, records must be kept for a certain period of time for possible discovery during ligitation. Organizations can also use this as a means of monitoring its employees to ensure that they are adhering to the acceptable use standards, as well as not improperly disclosing sensitive information.
