About retention plans
With a retention plan, you can associate a retention category with a number of other settings. These include a classification policy and the criteria for discarding expired conversations. You can then apply them all to one or more archives. If you choose to set a classification policy with a retention plan, then the classification policy determines the following:
Whether to classify conversations at the same time that Enterprise Vault indexes and archives them. Enterprise Vault applies classification tags. Afterwards, users of applications like Compliance Accelerator and Discovery Accelerator can use them to filter conversations when they conduct searches and reviews.
Whether to classify conversations when users manually delete them or Enterprise Vault automatically expires them.
For more information on the classification feature, see the Classification guide.
Applying a retention plan to an archive gives you greater control over the retention periods of the conversations it contains. In particular, a retention plan lets you dispose of conversations that have already been archived. You can give them a different retention period to the one that Enterprise Vault first gave them when it archived the conversations. For example, you can configure a retention plan to expire the affected conversations according to the retention category that is associated with it. Normally, the conversations are expired according to the retention categories with which Enterprise Vault originally stamped them.
If you want to use an SMTP archive with a Skype for Business target, you can specify a retention plan or a retention category when you create the target in the wizard or using PowerShell.
If you want to use a different type of archive with a Skype for Business target, you must specify a retention category for the target when you create it. If you prefer to use a retention plan, create the target, and then use the Set-EVArchive PowerShell cmdlet to associate the plan with the archive.
