MicrosoftHi Igbins81, will you be scoping to all exchange mailboxes, all SharePoint sites, all users' OneDrive, and all Team messages? If so, you can use static scope instead and create a retention policy. If you are trying to target specific groups of users or sites, you can definitely use adaptive scope.

Please let me know if you have any follow up questions!
- Sophie_Ke, We already have a manual process using static for exchange mailbox date, one retention policy keeps items forever for if someone leaves the company and the other 6 years retention period and delete items automatically. I want to stop manually going to add these users. So I want to automate to retain these two scenarios using adaptive scope as oppose to a manual process. Adding new users to the 6 years retention period and adding terminated users to the keep forever retention. Please advise best way to archive this goal using the adaptive scope and query that can be used.
