Microsoft 365 Administrator Expert MS-102 Practice Question
Your company uses Microsoft 365. Legal requires that all email messages be kept for 10 years, after which they must be permanently deleted. End users must be prevented from overriding or shortening the retention period. You also need to exempt the mailboxes of the executive team from this requirement. Which solution meets the requirements with the least administrative effort?
Place all mailboxes except the executive team on an eDiscovery hold for 10 years and configure an automatic purge after the hold expires.
Enable a 10-year litigation hold on every mailbox and manually remove the hold from the executive mailboxes.
Publish a retention label that retains content for 10 years and then deletes it, and assign the label to all Exchange mailboxes.
Create a retention policy with a 10-year retain and delete action, include all Exchange locations, and add the executive mailboxes to the exclusion list.
A Microsoft Purview retention policy applies a fixed retention period to all content in the selected locations and does not rely on user-applied labels, so users cannot change or remove it. A single retention policy can be configured for Exchange email with a 10-year retain-and-delete action, while the executive mailboxes can be added to the policy's exclusion list. Publishing a retention label would require users (or auto-labeling) to apply the label, and they could potentially change it if permitted. eDiscovery holds and litigation holds satisfy preservation but do not provide the automatic 10-year deletion or the same administrative simplicity, and they do not offer straightforward exclusion management within a single configuration.
