The new policy requires that emails must be retained for no longer than three years. To comply with this policy, an administrator should configure the following three locations:

  1. Email server: The email server is the primary location where emails are stored. An administrator can configure the email server to automatically delete emails that are older than three years. Alternatively, the administrator can archive older emails to a separate storage location.

  2. Backup tapes: Backup tapes are used to store copies of data from the email server. To comply with the new policy, an administrator should configure the backup system to retain only the email backups that are no older than three years.

  3. Domain controllers: Domain controllers are used to manage user accounts and group policies in a Windows domain. An administrator can configure the domain controllers to enforce the email retention policy by setting up appropriate group policies that apply to all users in the domain.

The other locations listed in the answer choices are not directly related to email retention and do not require any special configuration to comply with the new policy:

  • Local workstations: Emails are not typically stored on local workstations, so configuring them is not necessary for email retention.

  • SMTP gateway: SMTP gateways are used to route email traffic between different email servers. While an SMTP gateway may be involved in the email transmission process, it is not a storage location for emails.

  • Proxy server: A proxy server is used to route internet traffic between users and external websites. It is not directly related to email retention and does not require any special configuration to comply with the new policy.
