Exchange Online to Remove In-Place Hold and eDiscovery Tool
Microsoft announced the retirement of two legacy eDiscovery tools from Office 365. The first is V1 of Advanced eDiscovery; the second is Exchange Online in-place hold and search.Both tools will be removed from Office 365 in mid-2020. The big question is how Office 365 tenants who are currently using the old tools can move work in progress to the new tools. Stay tuned for more information!

I'd be very interested as well as to what we are to do with the existing Holds we have in the old tools. We've been using them for holding ex-employee mailboxes. I did start in 2017 to put those holds in the new tools, but we have multi-100s of mailboxes that we must maintain going forward for legal/compliance purposes.
C_the_S Microsoft has updated their note about retiring legacy eDiscovery tools and the Search-Mailbox cmdlet. Some guidance is now available for how to use PowerShell to move old Exchange Online in-place holds to holds in Office 365 eDiscovery cases. See the updated text at https://office365itpros.com/2020/01/08/posting-microsoft-365-roadmap-items-teams/ for more information.
Got to Step 5 and got "Only mailboxes are supported. The recipient name@contoso.com is of type MailContact" error and I can't proceed.
When I look at the values in $search.SourceMailboxes they are all mailboxes and the MailContact in the error response isn't there.
Looks like Microsoft still need to work on this.
C_the_S That's one of the questions I have with the Exchange product group.
