Update to the Get-UserHoldPolicies Tool

A new year, a new update for Get-UserHoldPolicies!  Woo!

I stumbled across some additional information today regarding deciphering hold policies for mailboxes while troubleshooting another issue and decided to update my Get-UserHoldPolicies tool to reflect it.

The core pieces that I added:

  • Identifying Skype policies (as prefaced by sky in the InPlaceHolds property of a mailbox)
  • Identifying excluded mailbox policies (as prefaced by -mbx in the InPlaceHolds property of a mailbox)
  • Disposition action for items at the end of a retention period:
    • Delete only
    • Do nothing after retention period
    • Delete after retention period

You can see a few of the new options here.  First, the excluded policies:

And then, you can also see an applied policy with the Delete Type property populated:
