Microsoft 365 Fundamentals — Question 326

A company uses Microsoft 365 for email. The company plans to implement a solution for employees who leave the company.
Currently, user accounts of terminated employees are deleted immediately. Mailbox content for terminated employees must be retained for 90 days and then deleted.
You need to identify solutions that meet the requirements.
What are two possible ways to achieve this goal? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Answer options

• A. Apply a Litigation Hold to the mailbox.
• B. Recover the inactive mailbox.
• C. Restore the inactive mailbox.
• D. Apply a retention policy to the mailbox.

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

Applying a Litigation Hold to the mailbox ensures that the content is preserved for legal purposes, thereby meeting the requirement to retain information for 90 days. Implementing a retention policy also serves to keep the mailbox contents for a specified duration before deletion. The other options, recovering or restoring the inactive mailbox, do not directly address the necessity for retention prior to deletion.
