Hello Folks,
I've read quite lot of documentation about in-place hold, in-place archives and retention policies, but i'm still not 100% sure if it works the way i need it.
What i want to accomplish:
* All items in all mailboxes need to be preserved for 7 years (based on the time when they were received/created!)
* All items older than 2 years need to be moved to an in-place archive
* all items OLDER than 7 years need to be permanently deleted
How i ASSUME to accomplish these goals:
* Put all Mailboxes under a time-based in-place hold for 2557 days
* enable in-place archive for all Mailboxes
* Apply a retention policy that contains the following DPT:
* Archive Items older than 531 days
* Delete Items older than 2558 days
Let's assume i have a mailbox with items dated as old as 1/1/2005 and i enable all of the above settings at once on this mailbox.
I then expect the following behaviour:
* Items older than 7 years are permantently deleted, in-place hold does not affect this (these items arenot stored in the RecoverableItems\DiscoveryHold)
* Items between age of 7 years and 2 years in age are moved to the in-place archive, deleting or modifying these items will trigger the in-place hold, all version will be kept under RecoverableItems\DiscoveryHold or RecoverableItems\Versions
* new items added to the mailbox are under in-place hold, modifications or deletions of these items will trigger the in-place hold
* deleted items (under RecoverableItems\DiscoveryHold) older than 2 years will be moved into the in-place archives RecoverableItems\DiscoveryHold (true?)
* if an item is received on 1/1/2017 (!), this item will be protected by the in-place hold for 2557 days and will be permanently deleted (along with all version that might have been created over time) after 2558 days by the retention policy
Can anyone confirm that it'll work this way, or if there are any misunderstandings?
Thanks in advance for your help,
yours,
Juergen
