Data Governance Retention Policies Do Not Appear to be Enabled

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,

Jeremy

Are 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.

    Hi Vasil,

     

    Thanks, that is exactly what I was looking for.  i didn't notice there was an additional switch that had to be used to get the full details.  Is there a reason for needing the detail switch as opposed to simply exposing these properties by default?  Seems like an unnecessary step.

      That's a question only the devs can answer :)

        Hi Vasil,

        Could you point me in the right direction, and explain how to execute this command?

        Set-RetentionComplianceRule [-ExcludedItemClasses <MultiValuedProperty>] <COMMON PARAMETERS>

        I have every permission I can find, but yet the -ExcludedItemClass does not seem to be available via PowerShell.

         

        Thanks
