Retention policy and group memberships
Hoping someone can clear this up for me...
If I have a retention policy applied to a group (distribution or Office 365), and after applying the policy I add a new user to be a member of that group, is it true that the retention policy will not apply to that new user? And if so, how do I (or can I) get it to apply to new users?
Thanks for any clarification!

It only adds the *current* members of the group, as mentioned for example here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/exchange/policy-and-compliance-retention/set-retentioncompliancepolicy?view=exchange-ps
If you want to include newly added users, you have to reconfigure the policy.
