Microsoft 365 Retention Policy or Exchange (Legacy) Policy in Exchange Online for In-Place Archiving
Hi,
Just a doubt, im trying to implement for automation of moving primary inbox to In-place Archive mailbox,
should i use the retention tags/ policy under Exchange(Legacy) in DLM on Microsoft Purview Compliance?
Or would the newer Microsoft 365 Retention Policy/Label be able to do this automation too?
Thanks!
- Take the Exchange (Legacy) retention tags/policy. Keep in mind if mailboxes were imported in M365 they are under retentionhold & you have to disable it via powershell. Otherwise the mails are not moving automatically into EXO-Archive.
You can check it with:
Get-Mailbox | Select DisplayName,RetentionHoldEnabled,ElcProcessingDisabled
-> the two parameters need to be $false- Thanks for the reply!
will the Exchange (legacy) retention tags/policy clashes with the newer M365 retention policy if both policies are active in EXO?- edmundcheah1992 not tested yet, but i think so. Use the Exchange (legacy) policy to move the mails to archive. Use the M365 retention policy to retent mails or data.
