SC-400 Retention Policies 4

Question 1

An organization applies a 5-year retention policy to SharePoint. A user edits a document creating a new version. Which version does the retention policy protect?

Accepted Answer

All versions including prior ones

Answer

Retention policies applied to SharePoint protect all versions of a document, not just the current one, ensuring full version history is retained.

Question 2

A compliance team needs to apply different retention periods to different types of content within the same SharePoint site. What is the recommended approach?

Accepted Answer

Use retention labels applied to specific content types or folders within the site

Answer

Retention labels allow granular retention periods to be applied to specific content types, folders, or documents within a site, unlike site-level policies.

Question 3

What is the purpose of the 'start the retention period based on' setting when creating a retention policy in Microsoft Purview?

Accepted Answer

It defines the event that triggers the start of the retention clock

Answer

This setting specifies when the retention period begins, such as when content was created, last modified, or labeled.

Question 4

A retention policy is configured for Exchange with a 3-year retain-and-delete action. A mailbox is placed on Litigation Hold. What is the effective outcome?

Accepted Answer

The Litigation Hold takes precedence and content is retained indefinitely

Answer

Litigation Hold takes precedence over retention policy deletion actions; content is retained indefinitely until the hold is released, per the principles of retention.

Question 5

When should an organization use an adaptive scope rather than a static scope in a retention policy?

Accepted Answer

When the set of included users or sites changes dynamically based on attributes

Answer

Adaptive scopes automatically include or exclude users and sites based on Azure AD attributes, making them ideal for dynamic organizational structures.
