Records retention on Skype for Business conversations
I too am interested. We don't have any "work" phones, they are all personal phones used for work purposes.
I was under the impression that all conversations conducted within Skype were stored in Outlook's Conversation History.
I do know that if you are refering to normal SMS/texting then no, MDM doesn't get them. For us we'd have to take someone's phone and send it to a phone "forensics" company that would then retrieve all the messages for us (that would include non-work messages). Not a cheap proposition.

We were thinking of steering people away from SMS/texting for that very reason and trying to get them to use the IM feature in Skype for Business, but if those aren't archived anywhere but their personal phone, we aren't gaining anything. I took a look at the privacy agreement here https://support.office.com/en-US/article/Privacy-supplement-for-Microsoft-Skype-for-Business-f2100fe5-20f2-4f87-a986-2a823b013b41 There are documents specifically for phones and it seems like the conversations are stored on the phone and not in Outlook archives.
