Data Lifecycle Management for Documents outside M365 environment
Hi everyone,
Is there a way that purview can be used to manage Data lifecycle management for documents that are stored on-prem and not in the M365 scope ? I remember that Lifecycle management including retention labels are only valid when they are applied withing the 365 environment.
If not directly with purview, what can be other methods withing M365 to achieve this ?
Thanks

Unfortunately, no. Data lifecycle management policies are enforced at the location storing the data, unlike sensitivity labels that "travel" with the item itself. Either bring the data within the confines of M365, or look for an alternative solution that covers the repositories where it is currently stored.
