Use the EAC to add or remove retention tags

  1. Go to Compliance management > Retention policies.

  2. In the list view, select the retention policy to which you want to add retention tags and then click Edit Edit icon..

  3. In Retention Policy, use the following settings:

    • Add Add Icon.: Click this button to add a retention tag to the policy.

    • Remove Remove icon.: Select a tag from the list, and then click this button to remove the tag from the policy.

Use the Shell to add or remove retention tags

This example adds the retention tags VPs-Default, VPs-Inbox, and VPs-DeletedItems to the retention policy RetPolicy-VPs, which doesn't already have retention tags linked to it.

Caution

If the policy has retention tags linked to it, this command replaces the existing tags.

Set-RetentionPolicy -Identity "RetPolicy-VPs" -RetentionPolicyTagLinks "VPs-Default","VPs-Inbox","VPs-DeletedItems"

This example adds the retention tag VPs-DeletedItems to the retention policy RetPolicy-VPs, which already has other retention tags linked to it.

$TagList = (Get-RetentionPolicy "RetPolicy-VPs").RetentionPolicyTagLinks
$TagList.Add((Get-RetentionPolicyTag 'VPs-DeletedItems').DistinguishedName)
Set-RetentionPolicy "RetPolicy-VPs" -RetentionPolicyTagLinks $TagList

This example removes the retention tag VPs-Inbox from the retention policy RetPolicy-VPs.

$TagList = (Get-RetentionPolicy "RetPolicy-VPs").RetentionPolicyTagLinks
$TagList.Remove((Get-RetentionPolicyTag 'VPs-Inbox').DistinguishedName)
Set-RetentionPolicy "RetPolicy-VPs" -RetentionPolicyTagLinks $TagList

For detailed syntax and parameter information, see Set-RetentionPolicy and Get-RetentionPolicy.

How do you know this worked?

To verify that you have successfully added or removed a retention tag from a retention policy, use the Get-RetentionPolicy cmdlet to verify the RetentionPolicyTagLinks property.

This example use the Get-RetentionPolicy cmdlet to retrieve retention tags added to the Default MRM Policy and pipes them to the Format-Table cmdlet to output only the name property of each tag.

(Get-RetentionPolicy "Default MRM Policy").RetentionPolicyTagLinks | Format-Table name
