Retention Policys
We have a discussion around retention policys.
My colleage says that a user can hard-delete an item from his/hers mailbox and this will not be preserved by the retention policy, therefor the admin (us) can not find it again.
I belive that when an item is deleted or hard-deleted, it will never leave the "Recoverable Items Folder" until it do not apply to a retention policy.
What is the correct answer?
It's another name clash, but in all fairness the old ones (configurable via the EAC) did not "retain" anything. On the contrary, they were only used to delete/archive items, which is kinda the opposite of retention. The new ones, configurable via the SCC, act across the service and do actual retention.
Depends on which version of "retention policies" you're talking about :) The ones you configure from the EAC do NOT preserve items. The ones you configure in the SCC do.
- interesting, I did't know that.
