Get-EVRetentionPlan
Get-EVRetentionPlan returns a list of all the retention plans that are configured in an Enterprise Vault site. You can filter the list of returned retention plans by description, retention category, override retention flag, and classification policy.
You can also return the properties of a specific retention plan and any retention folder information that you have defined in the plan. For more information on retention folders, see the Administrator's Guide.
Get-EVRetentionPlan is provided by Symantec.EnterpriseVault.PowerShell.AdminAPI.dll, which is loaded by the Enterprise Vault Management Shell.
Get-EVRetentionPlan [-SiteId <String>] [-Name <String>] [-Description <String>] [-RetentionCategory <String>] [-OverrideRetention [<SwitchParameter>]] [-ClassificationPolicy <String>] [<CommonParameters>]
Table: Get-EVRetentionPlan parameters
Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
-SiteId | The ID of the Enterprise Vault site for which to return the retention plan details. If you omit this parameter, and the cmdlet cannot determine the ID by looking in the registry, then Get-EVRetentionPlan prompts you to enter the required ID. You can use Get-EVSite to obtain the site ID. |
-Name | The name of a specific retention plan whose properties you want to return. |
-Description | The retention plan description with which to filter the list of returned plans. |
-RetentionCategory | The name of a retention category with which to filter the list of returned retention plans. |
-OverrideRetention | If specified, return only those retention plans for which you have set the override retention flag. This flag instructs Enterprise Vault to expire each item according to the retention category that you have set with the retention plan. This retention category overrides the item's individual retention category. |
-ClassificationPolicy | The name of a classification policy with which to filter the list of returned retention plans. |
Get-EVRetentionPlan
Returns a list of all the retention plans that are configured in the Enterprise Vault site. As no site ID is specified, the cmdlet first looks for it in the registry and then, if it cannot find the ID there, prompts you for it.
Get-EVRetentionPlan -SiteId 13E...localdomain.com
Returns a list of all the retention plans that are configured in the specified Enterprise Vault site.
Get-EVRetentionPlan -SiteId 13E...localdomain.com -Name ManagersPlan
Returns the properties of the retention plan that is named "ManagersPlan".
Get-EVRetentionPlan -SiteId 13E...localdomain.com -Description RetentionPlanForManagers
Restricts the list of returned retention plans to those that have a description of "RetentionPlanForManagers".
Get-EVRetentionPlan -SiteId 13E...localdomain.com -RetentionCategory 3years
Restricts the list of returned retention plans to those that have a retention category of "3years".
Get-EVRetentionPlan -OverrideRetention
Restricts the list of returned retention plans to those for which you have set the override retention flag.
Get-EVRetentionPlan -ClassificationPolicy "Managers CP"
Restricts the list of returned retention plans to those that have a classification policy name of "Managers CP".
Get-EVRetentionPlan -ClassificationPolicy ""
Restricts the list of returned retention plans to those for which no classification policy has been specified.
Get-EVRetentionPlan -Name "ManagersPlan" |select -expand Folders | Format-Table
Returns the retention folder information that is defined in the "ManagersPlan" retention plan. For example:
FolderPath FolderName RetentionCategory Expiry Inheritance ---------- ---------- ----------------- ------ ----------- \Business Business 2-year Folder ThisFolderAndAllSubfolders \Business\2018 2018 5-year Item ThisFolderAndAllSubfolders \Business\2020 2020 2-year Folder ThisFolderAndAllSubfolders \Inbox Inbox 1-year Item ThisFolderOnly \Inbox\Finance Finance 2-year Folder ThisFolderAndAllSubfolders \Inbox\Legal Legal 5-year Item ThisFolderOnly
The OverrideRetention and ClassificationPolicy settings for this retention plan determine whether the Expiry values are effective.
Get-EVRetentionPlan -Name "ManagersPlan" |select -expand FolderXml
Returns the retention folder information for the "ManagersPlan" retention plan in XML format.
Get-EVRetentionPlan -Name "ManagersPlan" |select -expand FolderXml | Out-File c:\retention_plan_folders.xml
Exports the retention folder information for the "ManagersPlan" retention plan to the file
c:\retention_plan_folders.xml. You can edit this file and then resubmit the retention folder information with the Set-EVRetentionPlan cmdlet.
Table: Get-EVRetentionPlan properties lists the properties that are available.

You can edit this file and then resubmit the retention folder information with the Set-EVRetentionPlan cmdlet. |
