A. B.B.
Private chats are stored in user mailboxes, not on OneDrive.
No, the proposed solution does not meet the goal of preventing User1 from permanently deleting private chats in Microsoft Teams.
Creating an In-Place Hold for the Microsoft OneDrive for Business site of User1 will place a legal hold on all the content in the user's OneDrive for Business, including files and folders. This will prevent User1 from deleting or modifying any of the content in their OneDrive for Business, but it will not affect the user's ability to delete private chats in Microsoft Teams.
To prevent a user from permanently deleting private chats in Microsoft Teams, you need to assign the appropriate retention policies for Teams messaging. Specifically, you need to configure a Teams messaging policy that specifies the desired retention period for chat messages and then apply the policy to the user. This way, the chat messages will be retained according to the specified retention period, and the user will not be able to permanently delete them.
Therefore, the correct solution would be to create a Teams messaging policy that specifies the desired retention period and then apply the policy to User1. This would meet the goal of preventing User1 from permanently deleting private chats in Microsoft Teams.
