Mail retention - storage of potential duplicate Data
Hi, We are planing to implement retention policies in Microsoft Purview. My question is, where and how often are the files stored? The question is about storage space. For example: A User has a Mailboxsize of 20 GB. The retention policy is: "Retain Mails for 5 years, don't delete after". And another (legacy) policy: "Move Mails to online archive after 1 year". Lets say he now has a full Mailbox with his 20GB. After activation of the online archive and the retention policies, his data gets moved. 10GB are older than one year, so they will move to the online archive. Is this move recognized by the retention policy "Retain Mails for 5 years, don't delete after"? Or does this move count as deleting and the 10GB will remain in the hidden "recoverable items" folder of his primary mailbox? For the rest of the Mails: If he is moving 5GB to a M365 Group Folder and 5GB to a Public Folder, are these moves recognized by the retention policy "Retain Mails for 5 years, don't delete after"? Same question as above, does this move count as deleting and the 10GB will remain in the hidden "recoverable items" folder of his primary mailbox? If all moves are recognized by the system and the Mails are only stored once (probably with a reference to the old folder/mailbox), the used spaces should look like this: Primary Mailbox: 0 GB Online Archive: 10GB M365 Group: 5GB Public Folder: 5GB If the Mails are stored multiple times in the hidden "recoverable items folder", it should look like this: Primary Mailbox: Hidden 20 GB (Mailbox is still full) Online Archive: 10GB M365 Group: 5GB Public Folder: 5GB What is the case here?

Hello, In Microsoft Purview, the “Data policy enforcement” toggle does not appear at all for an AWS S3 data source, even though prerequisites seem to be met. Environment Microsoft 365 E5 license Microsoft Purview Data Map enabled AWS S3 registered and scanned successfully Sensitive data classification working Sensitive label schematized option not available - says that it has been moved , but doesn't indicate where Purview Data Policies created and published I have Purview Administrator / Data Source Admin permissions Issue The Data policy enforcement toggle: Does not appear during initial S3 registration Does not appear when editing the S3 data source As a result, Purview data policies cannot be enforced on S3 buckets Expected behavior according to Microsoft documentation indicates that Data policy enforcement must be enabled during or after S3 registration to apply data policies to S3 data. Questions What exact conditions/prerequisites control whether the Data policy enforcement toggle appears for S3? Can the toggle be enabled after initial registration, or only at creation time? If the toggle never appeared, is re-registering the S3 source the only supported fix? Are there any known limitations or portal issues where the toggle is hidden despite E5 licensing and correct permissions? Any clarification on expected behavior or how to surface the toggle would be appreciated.

Hi I'm a fresh user of Purview and after creating policies linked to Exchange, I've enabled the onboarding of computer. Unfortunately, all Defender endpoints have been onboarded, and I've not be able to define which one was concerned. Now, I would like to offboard all those devices from purview and only keep them in Defender without any DLP protection. I tried to remove them with the onboarding script, but my endpoints are still present in Purview. How can I completely remove them? Thanks for your help YohannCovUser06Mar 06, 2026Copper Contributor452Views1like5CommentseDiscovery - Issues exploring groups & users related to a hybrid data source
Hi all, first time posting - unusually I could find nothing out there that helped. I work in an organisation has an on-premises domain which syncs to our tenant. I don't manage the domain or the sync, but I'm assured that the settings are vanilla and there are no errors being logged. 99% of our users are hybrid. The tenant is shared across multiple legal entities, so I'm using eDiscovery to fulfil our GDPR subject access requests The issue I am hitting is straightforward. in eDiscovery searches with hybrid users as the data source, I cannot add related objects (manager, direct reports, groups the user is in). The properties are present in Entra, but not visible to Purview, so I'm not investigating sync errors at the moment. For cloud objects, I can see manager, teams, etc. and it works fine. Does anyone have any insights they can share on the "explore and add" mechanics in eDiscovery search data sources? I'm drawing a complete blank on this one. Where should I be looking?PatReaneyMar 05, 2026Copper Contributor77Views0likes2Commentsdeleted sensitivity label
Hello Everyone I want to identify who deleted a sensitivity label from my information protection blade. Actual scenario is I had one label called Internal-1, it is now disappeared, However if I am trying to create label with same name it says label with same name is already available. In actual that is not showing in GUI. I want to know how to search who deleted the label in Audit. Please advice. Thank youAfsar_ShariffMar 04, 2026Brass Contributor84Views0likes2CommentsMicrosoft purview endpoint DLP Printing
Hello All, We can monitor print activities in Microsoft purview endpoint DLP, If someone print sensitive data based on the conditions defined in DLP it will take action on printing. I want to know how the Purview endpoint DLP intercepts the printing and avoid data exfiltration. Does it stop before it reaches the spooler? Please provide technical insights on this doubt. Thank you.SolvedAfsar_ShariffMar 03, 2026Brass Contributor93Views0likes4CommentsAuto-labelling does not support content marking
We’ve hit a limitation with service-side auto-labeling in Purview: when a sensitivity label is applied by an auto-labeling policy, any configured visual markings (headers, footers, watermarks) are not written into the document. A further complication is that there is a requirement which includes a custom script that applies sensitivity labels at the folder level and relies on the service-side engine to cascade those labels down to the folder's contents. This means automation isn't just a 'nice to have' for scale — it is a core dependency of our labeling architecture. The inability to also apply visual markings through this same automated path creates a direct gap in our compliance posture and the MS solution. For environments where visible classification is mandated by regulation, this effectively means we can’t rely on service-side auto-labeling alone, which is a big constraint. I’d really appreciate: Any confirmed best practices/workarounds others are using, and Input from the product team on whether server-side visual markings tied to auto-labeling are being considered / and what to consider meeting this requirement as an alternativeSolved54Views1like1CommentIssue Using Built in Trainable Classifiers in Auto Labelling Policies - Purview
Over the last few days, I have run into issue while configuring Auto labelling policies in Purview specifically when using built in classifiers for eg: Budget, Agreements These classifiers are parr of ready to use. They have been working well for us until recently but now saving an auto labelling rule that includes any of Trainable classifiers getting client side error: 'Could not find rule pack associated with sensitive information type' this is unexpected because: same classifiers eg: Budget worked perfectly just few weeks ago. No changes have made to roll, permissions on our side. Still not sure why showing issue now. Kindly request you, help me with root cause of the cause. Please feel free to post it comments if someone faced same issue in using trainable classifiers in auto labelling policies. Thanks in advance.

Dear Expert and Community, I am starting with MS Purview - Data Loss Prevention. I have one point to clarify and seek your advise / comment / contribute or sharing good practice regarding with below: - Firstly, we can send email to externally user contain sensitive information, it is encryption or blocked (result: worked as expected). If remail encrypt, the external receiver require verify the Identity via sign in with google acc / with a one time password. - Second: we plan sending email to external user (only trusted user / domain). Is it possible, do not require these scope user reverify their Identity again and again? If yes, how to do it? If not - why? Well appreciated for update and supporting.

Does anyone know how to add a glossary term to a domain using the REST API? What is the correct url?
