As a Systems Administrator, you need to configure a retention policy to meet the company's security requirement that all files used in personal chats or team collaborations must be retained for a minimum of one year. To do this, you need to apply the retention policy to the appropriate locations. You should apply the retention policy to Teams chat and Teams channel messages.
Here is an explanation of each option:
A. OneDrive accounts: OneDrive is a personal storage space for each user. Applying a retention policy to OneDrive accounts would only affect files that are stored in the user's personal OneDrive space. It would not affect files that are shared through Teams chats or channel messages.
B. Exchange email: Exchange email is not relevant in this scenario as the security requirement only pertains to files used in personal chats or team collaborations. Email messages are not considered personal chats or team collaborations.
C. Teams chat: Applying the retention policy to Teams chat ensures that any files shared in a one-on-one chat between two users are retained for the required time period.
D. SharePoint sites: SharePoint sites are not relevant in this scenario as the security requirement only pertains to files used in personal chats or team collaborations. SharePoint sites are used for collaboration, but they are not considered personal chats or team collaborations.
E. Teams channel messages: Applying the retention policy to Teams channel messages ensures that any files shared in a Teams channel are retained for the required time period.
Therefore, the two locations where you should apply the retention policy are Teams chat and Teams channel messages.
