To work with Retention policies in the SCC, use the New-RetentionCompliancePolicy cmdlet. That said, if you use the SCC policies, actions like excluding specific message classes are not possible, the policy will apply to all messages.

    Thanks VasilMichev ,

     

    but in the New-RetentionCompliancePolicy I have no option to define the Settings of the Policy, e.g. how many years I want the Retention to be in place.

     

    It seems to me that this is defined in theNew-RetentionComplianceRule.

     

    So what is defined in a new SCC Retention Policy UI seems to be a mix of New-RetentionCompliancePolicy and New-RetentionComplianceRule?

    Am I correct here?

     

    The New-RetentionComplianceRule would give me the Option of excluding IPM classes.

     

    Thanks,

    Franck

      Yes, the two cmdlets go hand in hand, but technically the policy one is the "parent". I forgot about the ExcludedItemClasses parameter 🙂
