Sharepoint 2016 : Enforcing Retention policy on OneDrive Documents.

Artículo

You may be familiar with the Information Management Policies that can be used to configure the retention policy on documents, eg: Introduction to information management policies and Create and apply information management policies . However have you ever wondered who the document retention policies can be applied for the documents within the users's Mysites ? Sharepoint 2016 comes with a new feature called Compliance center and this feature will help us configuring such policies based on the site template used ! Wondering how ? Lets looks at the following steps..

Pre-requisites : Configure User profile service application : https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee721052(v=office.16).aspx

Configure Mysites : https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee624362(v=office.16).aspx

Configure Search Service application : https://technet.microsoft.com/en-in/library/gg502597(v=office.16).aspx

In my test case , the Mysite web app and Mysite host URL is : https://sp:28309/

Now, lets start the configuration.

Create Compliance Policy Center :

You will need to create a site collection on the same web application as the MysiteHost. The Site template should be selected as "Compliance Policy Center" (Under enterprise templates) . You can use UI method or PowerShell commands to create the site.

In My case, the Compliance policy center URL is https://sp:28309/sites/CompliancePolicyCenter

2. Set the property PolicyCenterUrl for the Mysite web application

     $webApp=Get-SPwebApplication https://sp:28309
    $webApp.Properties["PolicyCenterUrl"]="https://sp:28309/sites/CompliancePolicyCenter"
    $webApp.update()
    $webApp.Properties

3. Access the Compliance Policy center site collection and create a new Deletion policy
4. Create a new Rule
Provide the policy Name and then create a new Rule - You can choose the option to delete the files permanently or move them to recycble and options are available to rule for "created date" and "Modified date" , number of days etc.

Now the Policy and rule will look like below

5. Assign the Compliance policy to a site template
Once the template is selected click on "Manage Assigned Policies" and select the policy.

You will see it as below - Make sure that you select "Mark Policy as Mandatory"

6. Confirm that the policy is applied using the following URL from the site collection level
https://sp:28309/personal/contoso_administrator/_layouts/15/retentionpolicyCollectionAdminsettings.aspx

https://sp:28309/personal/contoso_administrator/_layouts/15/retentionpolicyadminsettings.aspx

Nice..We are done with the basic setup.. :-)

Now, I have a OneDriveForBusiness site for the user Contoso\spfarm and a document is created / uploaded which is now 8 days old. We will proceed with removing this file from the document library using the policy we created and set. Document : Upgrade-20171022-081946-944.log

7. Crawl the Document
This document should be crawled and indexed by the associated search service application. If this item is NOT crawled or indexing failed for some reason , fix it. You can confirm it by issuing a search for the document

8. GET and SET ip_lastcompliancepolicyprocesstime property
Now confirm that The ip_lastcompliancepolicyprocesstime property for the mysite web should be atleast 7 days behind from current day

 To check the property value
    $web=Get-spweb https://sp:28309/personal/contoso_spfarm/
    $web.AllProperties["ip_lastcompliancepolicyprocesstime”]

 To reset the value to an older date: (Execute this only if the value shows within 7 days from today)   
    $web=Get-spweb https://sp:28309/personal/contoso_spfarm/
    $ResetDate=(Get-date).AddDays(-10)
    $modifieddate=(Get-date $ResetDate -Format "MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt")
    $Updatedate= (Get-Date $modifieddate).ToString("MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt")
    $web.AllProperties["ip_lastcompliancepolicyprocesstime”]=$Updatedate
    $web.update()
    $web.AllProperties["ip_lastcompliancepolicyprocesstime”]

9. Execute the Timer jobs
You can now execute the following Timer jobs in the same order mentioned - Make sure that you pick the right web application

When the Compliance Dar Task house keeping job is executed , you can see a task getting created in the "Dar Tasks" list in the compliance center site.

Executing the Compliance Dar processing job will create a few more items

Execute the Compliance Policy processing job , you may not see a difference in the number of items in the "Dar Tasks" lists , but a few updates like Task completion time will be updated.

10. Done .. ! Test it now
Now Access the OneDrive for business for contoso_spfarm and the item is completely removed.

Critical Points to remember -

1. ALL the web applications in the farm should have a property PolicyCenterUrl set with the right URL - NOT just the Mysitehost web app2. The contents of the Mysite web application should be successfully crawled and indexed3. The ip_lastcompliancepolicyprocesstime property for each OneDriveforBusiness site should be atleast 7 days behind from current day4. The Timer jobs “Compliance Dar Tasks housekeeping”, “Compliance Dar processing” and “Compliance Policy processing” should be executed in the same order.

A sample PowerShell script is shared herewith to automate step 2,3 and 4. Make sure that you have the right values for $MysiteWebApp and $PolicySiteCollection variables.
