A. B.A.
Yes, the solution of placing the mailbox of User1 on Litigation Hold would meet the goal of preventing User1 from permanently deleting private chats in Microsoft Teams.
When a mailbox is placed on Litigation Hold, all the content in that mailbox, including Microsoft Teams chats and conversations, is preserved for e-discovery and legal purposes. This means that even if a user deletes a private chat in Microsoft Teams, it will still be retained and can be accessed by authorized personnel.
Therefore, by placing the mailbox of User1 on Litigation Hold, the user will not be able to permanently delete private chats in Microsoft Teams, as those chats will be preserved and retained in the mailbox as per the Litigation Hold policy.
It is important to note that placing a mailbox on Litigation Hold may have additional effects such as increasing the size of the mailbox and slowing down search and retrieval of content due to the preservation of all content, including deleted items. Therefore, it is recommended to carefully consider the impact of placing a mailbox on Litigation Hold and to configure the policy appropriately.
