Data Governance Retention Policies Do Not Appear to be Enabled
We have created a Retention Policy in Data Governance via the new Security and Compliance Portal. We have set Exchange Email to include All users and Exclude none. From my understanding, this console is a one-stop spot to enable all of the backend policies from one convenient console.
When I look at the policy created in the GUI using Powershell, the ExchangeLocation information fields are blank. According to the article below, these values should be populated. Also from the article below these fields should be added seperately.
Has anyone seen this behavior before? Once you set the Retention Policy up, how can you tell that it's enabled, working, and applying to one user vs another.
Thanks!

Empty equals "all" in this case.
Hi Vasil,
If empty equals "all", why is it that when I create a Compliance Retention Policy that only targets Exchange in the GUI, PowerShell shows {} for all categories: sharepoint, odfb, exchange, skype, and moderngroups?
How can I apply a RetentionCompliancePolicy to only a single workload via PowerShell?
Thanks,
JeremyAre you referring to the *location properties? Those will only be populated if you use the -DistributionDetail switch. To create a policy applied to only Exchange, use the -ExchangeLocation switch with the "All" value.
- Thanks Vasil but is there any way for me to tell for sure?
You mean you don't trust me? :( I'm not aware of any document that mentions this, if that's what you mean.
