Microsoft 365 Administrator Expert MS-102 Practice Question
Your organization applies a retention policy named OrgDelete5 that permanently deletes documents five years after they are created. The policy is scoped to all SharePoint Online sites. You create a retention label named CustFinance7 that retains content for seven years and then starts a disposition review. The label is published only to the Finance site, which is already in scope of OrgDelete5. A user creates a document in the Finance site and immediately applies the CustFinance7 label. Exactly five years later, what occurs to that document?
It is permanently deleted by OrgDelete5 exactly five years after creation, because the retention policy has broader scope than the label.
It is moved to the site's Preservation Hold library at five years and retained there until the label's seven-year review.
It remains available because the applied label overrides the policy; after seven years it enters the disposition review process.
It is automatically declared a record at five years and becomes immutable until manually disposed.
When multiple retention settings apply, Microsoft Purview evaluates them in a specific precedence order. Retention labels that are explicitly applied to an item always take priority over any retention policy that also covers that item. Because the document has the CustFinance7 label, the retention period defined by that label (seven years) overrides the OrgDelete5 policy. Therefore, the document is not deleted after five years. Instead, it continues to be retained until the seven-year period elapses, at which point the disposition review configured in the label is initiated.
Incorrect answers explained:
The document is not automatically deleted after five years because the retention policy's settings are overridden by the applied label.
Content is not moved to the Preservation Hold library at the five-year mark; the label continues to manage it in its original location until the seventh year.
Applying the CustFinance7 label does not automatically declare the document as a record or make it immutable; it only applies the configured retention and disposition settings.
