Discover Where Files without Retention Labels Exist in SharePoint and OneDrive
Purview Data Lifecycle management includes many ways to apply retention labels to SharePoint Online files, some of which require E5 licenses. Tools are available to show you what files have retention labels, but finding unlabeled SharePoint files is difficult because no out-of-the-box methods are available. Here we show how to use a content search to find unlabeled SharePoint files, and how to adjust the search results to have usable data for further processing. https://practical365.com/unlabeled-sharepoint-files/Excluding SharePoint Online sites from Retention Policy, for removal
I understand that when I have the Purview Retention Policy set to Never Delete, that I can't fully delete any SharePoint Online sites. If I add the sites I want to remove to the Exclude list of the Policy, how long does it normally take for that change to propagate before I have permissions to be able to delete those excluded sites?Microsoft Releases Cmdlet to Retrieve Disposition Review Items
The Get-ReviewItems cmdlet (in the Exchange Online management module) is available to export details about disposition review items in either a pending or disposed state. It’s possible that you don’t care very much about records management, retention labels, or disposition processing, but if you do, you’ll be glad that the new cmdlet exists. https://office365itpros.com/2023/04/10/disposition-review-items-export/Creating a 'never delete' data retention policy in Microsoft 365
What is the process for creating a retention policy that prevents users from ever truly deleting any files permanently from SharePoint/Exchange/OneDrive/Teams? I'm fine if they 'think' they've deleted data, but want to have the option of restoring that data at any time for e-discovery purposes.
Exchange retention policy - deleted items folder problem
Dear Community, i tried to setup e-mail retention as needed by using Exchange Admin Center (classic version) and ran into a problem. What I want is all e-mail in all folders to be retained for 10 years, but deleted items to be removed after 90 days (deleted items folder and recovery folder together 90 days - whichever can be adjusted). For this, I created Retention tag as follows: But when I add this tag to "Default MRM policy" whic will be applied to mailboxes, somehow column "Type" remains empty, and I am not sure if this will work as intended or there is some kind of error? Also, I dont know how to setup recoverable items duration by using policy? Can someone suggest me what I should do? Thank you
Changing the retention policy to add deletion
We have a retention policy of 1 year, and "At the end of the retention period" is set to "Do nothing". If we change that to "Delete items automatically", will that cause all the files in Preservation Hold Library that were deleted more than a year ago, to be deleted immediately? Any potential problems we should prepare for if we decide to proceed with the change?
