Designing and Deploying Microsoft Exchange Server 2016 — Question 56

Your company has an Exchange Server 2016 organization.
All users have a primary mailbox and archive mailboxes.
You create a new retention policy for the users. The policy includes the following types of tags:
✑ A default retention policy tag (RPT) applied to the mailbox: The tag is configured to move email messages older than three years to the archive.
✑ An RPT applied to the users' Sent Items folder: The tag is configured to move email messages older than one year to the archive.
The corporate retention policy is applied to all of the mailboxes.
A user creates a personal tag named Tag1. The personal tag is configured to delete items permanently after 180 days.
The user sends an email message that uses Tag1.
You need to identify what will occur to the message.
What should you identify?

Answer options

• A. The message will be deleted in six months.
• B. The message will he moved to the archive in one year.
• C. The message will be moved to the archive in one year and deleted six months later.
• D. The message will be moved to the archive in three years.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the personal tag Tag1 is set to permanently delete items after 180 days, which takes precedence over the other retention policies. The other options are incorrect as they all suggest actions regarding archiving that do not apply once Tag1's deletion rule is triggered.
