A.

To meet the company's security policy requirements, you need to configure messaging policies in Microsoft Teams. The messaging policies control the features that are available to users in Teams chat and channel messages.

The company's security policy has the following requirements: -> All users except Team owners must be prevented from deleting sent messages -> Team owners must be able to delete sent messages -> All users must be prevented from editing sent messages

To minimize the number of policies configured, you can use the default messaging policy in Microsoft Teams and create one additional messaging policy. The default messaging policy applies to all users in the organization, and you can use an additional messaging policy to apply specific settings to team owners.

Here are the steps to configure the policies:

  1. Sign in to the Microsoft 365 admin center with your admin credentials.

  2. In the left navigation, go to Teams > Messaging policies.

  3. Click the Default policy to edit it.

  4. Scroll down to the Message deletion section and select the option "Owners can delete sent messages."

  5. Scroll down to the Message editing section and select the option "Off."

  6. Click Save.

  7. Create a new messaging policy by clicking the Add a policy button.

  8. Give the policy a name, such as "Team Owners Policy."

  9. Scroll down to the Message deletion section and select the option "Owners can delete sent messages."

  10. Scroll down to the Message editing section and select the option "Off."

  11. In the Users and groups section, select "Team owners" to apply the policy only to team owners.

  12. Click Save.

After you configure the policies, all users except team owners will be prevented from deleting sent messages and editing sent messages. Team owners will be able to delete sent messages, and all users will be prevented from editing sent messages.

Therefore, the answer is B. The default Messaging policy and one additional Messaging policy need to be configured.
