Exchange Online retention policy group based

Question

Hi,

We have separate category of users. Basically F3 users who won't have Archive, E3 who will have archive. Our retention policy tells emails older than certain years to move to Archive. For F3 there won't be any archive so we were thinking to apply retention policy to F3 users that emails older than certain years should be deleted. Is there a way an automated retention policy can be applied based on AD security groups? So basically users part of security group "x" will have specific retention policy.

No, not directly. But you can use a simple script that expands the group membership and assigns the corresponding retention policy. Something like this:

Get-DistributionGroupMember groupname | % { Set-Mailbox -Identity $_.PrimarySmtpAddress -RetentionPolicy blabla }
