New Retention Policies

So it looks like we have a new take on Retention and Preservation in Office 365:   https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Overview-of-retention-policies-5e377752-700d-4870-9b6d-12bfc12d2423#inste...

    Hi Matt,

     

    Yes you can create a single Retention Policy to protect all content that you refer.

     

    Just make sure that all your licences supports retention.

    Sorry for reactivating an older post, but if a client has a hybrid deployment with all mailboxes on-prem and all archives in Exchange Online archives, does creating a single preservation policy for Exchange mailboxes mean that data is retained if deleted from the online archive?

    Thanks for confirming - I was reading through the article and assumed that this was possible, but wasn't entirely sure. This could potentially make compliance much easier since we won't need to do any complex automation to make sure that OneDrives and mailboxes are explicitly added to a preservation policy. Now I need to go see if this is going to work for us.

     

    Thanks!
