MicrosoftSharePoint and Exchange Online eDiscovery Transitioning to Office 365 Security & Compliance Center

Losing this functionality would cause a major issue for our organization.
I am trying to figure this out, and have yet to find a solution. Can anyone formally comment on this? This is also a much used functionality in our organization, and the only alternative i'm finding is to download it to an admin's computer, then figure out how to share it from there. Very inefficient.
Well, remember that eDiscovery in the SCC spans across all workloads, Discovery mailbox isnt really a suitable location to store SharePoint document library results for example. But no, I'm not aware of any option to copy the results to a mailbox, neither in the UI or via PowerShell.
If you are searching mailboxes only, use the Exchange toolset, no need to use the SCC.
- But they are shutting that side of it down come July 1 right?
"Starting July 1, 2017, you won't be able to use the EAC to create searches in Exchange Online. Please start using Content Search in the Security & Compliance Center. "Search-Mailbox should still work though, but maybe I'm assuming too much. Let me see if I can get someone from Microsoft to clarify.
- Didn't think about the PowerShell angle
More quotes, though not clear if the *-MailboxSearch rules out Search-Mailbox command:
"On July 1st, 2017 eDiscovery will also be unified in the Office 365 Security and Compliance Center. After July 1st, 2017 the ability to create new In-Place eDiscovery searches and In-Place Holds (*-MailboxSearch) in the Exchange Admin Center in Exchange Online and the creation of new cases in the eDiscovery Center in SharePoint Online will be disabled and new cases and searches should be created and managed through the Office 365 Security & Compliance Center to fulfill eDiscovery needs. In both cases, you will still be able to edit and run existing searches in the Exchange Admin Center and work with existing cases in the SharePoint eDiscovery Center."
