Retention Policy
45 TopicsDiscover 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/13Views1like0CommentsMicrosoft 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/3.1KViews1like9CommentsCreating 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.7.7KViews1like2CommentsExchange 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 you2.4KViews1like3CommentsRetention Policy and deletion
We currently have a one-year retention policy covering Exchange, SharePoint etc. The policy is set to "Do nothing" for "At the end of the retention period". My question is: When the one-year retention period has expired, what will be deleted - everything that is more than one year old (even content that has not been deleted by the owner) - or only the contents that have been deleted by the user one year ago?Solved4KViews1like6CommentsChanging 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?930Views1like1CommentAre Retention Policies replacing In-Place Holds and Litigation Holds?
I am currently gathering information about email preservation, as we are legally obliged to keep emails for 7 to 10 years. I read about In-Place Hold, Litigation Hold and today about Retention Policies. In the latest article I read (Overview of retention policies) it is written that … There are several other features that have previously been used to retain or delete content in Office 365. These are listed below. These features will continue to work side by side with retention policies and labels created in the Security & Compliance Center. But moving forward, for data governance, we recommend that you use a retention policy or labels instead of all of these features. A retention policy is the only feature that can both retain and delete content across Office 365. Holds created for eDiscovery in the Security & Compliance Center (eDiscovery hold) In-Place Hold and Litigation Hold (eDiscovery hold) Retention tags and retention policies, also known as messaging records management (MRM) (Deletion only) I just want to make sure that I learn and implement the latest technology and not invest time into something that already has a successor. But I'm a bit confused about the third item in the list because it literally says: "[…] moving forward, for data governance, we recommend that you use a retention policy or labels instead of […] Retention tags and retention policies"?Solved8.4KViews1like2Comments
