You have a Microsoft 365 E5 tenant.
Users store data in the following locations:
Microsoft Teams -
Microsoft OneDrive -
Microsoft Exchange Online -
Microsoft SharePoint -
You need to retain Microsoft 365 data for two years.
What is the minimum number of retention policies that you should create?
To retain data across Microsoft 365, you need to account for different data locations and types. Microsoft Teams requires separate policies for Teams channel chats and Teams private channel messages because you cannot combine these in one retention policy. Similarly, data retention for Microsoft OneDrive, Microsoft SharePoint, and Microsoft Exchange Online can be managed together in a single retention policy. Therefore, the minimum number of retention policies required is three: one for Teams channel chats, one for Teams private channel messages, and one for Exchange, OneDrive, and SharePoint.
There's a trap with this one, you need two policies for Teams 1. Teams channel/chats 2. Teams private channel messages 3. OneDrive, SharePoint, Exchange
Tested and Approved ! well done
not specified
They don't specify to exclude private chats, so you need 3.
Definitely 3 - Just tested on a live tenant, this is because you cannot choose Teams channels and chats with private chats, and you cannot choose Teams with OD/SPO/Exchange
Just checked. Policy 1 - Microsoft OneDrive - Microsoft SharePoint - Microsoft Exchange Online Policy 1 - Microsoft Teams https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/create-retention-policies?tabs=other-retention https://compliance.microsoft.com/informationgovernance?viewid=retention
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/create-retention-policies?tabs=teams-retention ”Teams private channel messages: Messages from private channel chats and private channel meetings. If you select this option, you can't select the other Teams locations in the same retention policy.”
Aside from adaptive policies you cannot create a policy with Teams channel messages and Teams private channel messages(https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2220113). Thats 2 for teams and 1 for Exchange mailboxes, SharePoint, OneDrive = C:3
In my opinion the correct answer is B. 1 Retention policy for Exchange, OneDrive and SharePoint 1 Retention policy for Teams cannels and chat.
To retain Microsoft 365 data for two years across all the mentioned locations (Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, Exchange Online, and SharePoint), you should create: B. 2 One Retention Policy for Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint: Create a single retention policy that covers Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint. This policy will ensure that data stored in these locations is retained for the specified duration (two years). Another Retention Policy for Exchange Online: Create a separate retention policy for Microsoft Exchange Online. This policy will ensure that emails and related data stored in Exchange Online mailboxes are also retained for the same duration (two years). So, the correct answer is B. 2 retention policies.
I just checked in my tenant 1. Exchange mailboxes and OneDrive accounts can be turned on together. 2. Teams Channel Messages and Teams Chats and Copilot interactions can be turned on together. 3. Teams private channel can only be on by itself. If you try different combinations the others get turned off. So, the least amount it can be done in is 3.
Answer A
2 policies, checked directly from compliance admin center on Sep 23, 23.
3 is the correct answer from previous test
