Question 156

You have a Microsoft 365 tenant that uses Microsoft Teams.

You need to ensure that all internal communication is stored for a minimum of seven years.

What should you create first?

    Correct Answer: D

    To ensure that all internal communication in Microsoft Teams is stored for a minimum of seven years, you should create a retention label policy. A retention label policy can apply retention settings specifically to content types (such as messages and documents), and will allow you to enforce the required retention period. A retention label alone isn't sufficient because it needs to be applied to the content through a policy. Therefore, creating a retention label policy is the necessary first step to achieve the desired retention requirement.

Discussion
QuesterOption: D

I think it should be D - Retension Policy. They are saying that all communication should be saved. Which would be a policy. Not anything regarding documents, which then would be OneDrive/Sharepoint based.

mcas

agree all communication means you have to target containers (e.g. mailboxes) which requires a policy. label is only used for exceptions, or specific files/content

vasskliss

It says "retention label policy", not the same with "retention policy". A is correct.

chrissempaiOption: A

A is correct in temas you have all documents share, a policy can't mark them, you need a label. see : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/compliance/retention?view=o365-worldwide

A is correct By default they say 3 yrs retention policy for SP sites, but if you need 7 years you need EXCEPTION which is Label https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/compliance/create-retention-labels-data-lifecycle-management?view=o365-worldwide

KodoiOption: A

Retention Policies are different from Retention Label Policies. Both perform the same function, except that retention policies are applied automatically and retention label policies are applied only when the associated retention label is tagged to the content. Question D is a "Retention Label Policy". To use it, a retention label is required.

CharlieGolfOption: D

Per the following link, it should be "Retention Policy", but the poorly worded "Retention Label Policy" answer still seems a better answer than "Retention Label" for "communications" (vs files). https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/compliance/create-retention-policies?view=o365-worldwide&tabs=teams-retention

SangoOption: A

The Retention Policy, Retention Label and Retention Label Policy are the exact key words. You can't create a "Retention Label Policy" (User or Auto) without a "Retention Label" to Use. That said, you can create a "Retention Policy" but that isn't on an option for the multi-choice question.

doori88Option: D

answer is D, you dont need a label but you need to apply it on Teams & Yammer --> therefore policy

k8heningerOption: A

It says what should you create FIRST. You can't create a retention label policy without a retention label. Answer is A.

narak7861008Option: D

I think the answer is D because "Teams supports retention policies for chat and channel messages so that as an admin, you can decide proactively whether to retain this data, delete it, or retain it for a specific period of time and then delete it. The start of the retention period for these actions is always based on when a message is created" https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/retention-policies

RomeoktonOption: D

The question was on exam in November 2023. My opinion is it is not put in the best possible wording. Microsoft says: Use a retention policy to assign the same retention settings for content at a site or mailbox level, and use a retention label to assign retention settings at an item level (folder, document, email). However, here the answer is "retention label policy". That's why it seems A as first you need to create the label.

dmoorthyOption: D

Exchange public folders, Skype, Teams and Yammer messages don't support retention labels. To retain and delete content from these locations, use retention policies instead. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/compliance/retention?view=o365-worldwide

bsongwkOption: A

A is correct. U need to create a label first before u can create a policy.

bsongwk

Ignore my previous comment. The answer should be D. Policy can be created without first creating a label: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/compliance/create-retention-policies?view=o365-worldwide&tabs=teams-retention
