    Hi @William Fahham ,

    If you are an On-Premise user, you could apply a retention policy using distribution groups by running the command below in EMS: 

    Get-DistributionGroupMember "<GROUP NAME>" -ResultSize Unlimited | Get-Mailbox | Set-Mailbox -RetentionPolicy "<POLICY NAME>"

    If you are an O365 user, you could use the existed options to Include or Exclude the security or distribution groups you would like, just like below:

    Hope these could help.
