Exam SC-400 topic 3 question 20 discussion

Answers are correct. Label is applied only for Sharepoint ..based on which only File 1 will be deleted as the date creation exceeds 7yrs retention

YNN Policy here applies only to SharePoint and not to the other locations

N, N, Y File1 will be deleted after you turn on the policy. (No) File2 will be deleted after you turn on the policy. (No) File3 will be deleted after you turn on the policy. (Yes) Retention Policy: The policy is configured to delete content if it is older than 7 years, with the retention period starting from the creation date of each file. File1 was created on December 28, 2011, meaning that as of January 1, 2021, it is 9 years old. However, because it is stored in a SharePoint site, it will not be deleted immediately upon enabling the policy. File2 was created on January 2, 2011, making it 10 years old. However, because it is stored in OneDrive, it will not be deleted immediately upon enabling the policy. File3 was created on May 1, 2006, making it over 14 years old. Since it is stored in an Exchange Online public folder, it will be deleted as soon as the policy is activated.

Got this question on exam on 17th August

Ahh, tricky one! So, if the policy would have been just "Enabled" the correct answer is indeed Y/N/N. But since it shows "Enabled (Pending)" it means that it has not yet fully applied to the location/s and hence even though the way is configured should delete File1, since it's pending it's not 100% guaranteed that this will happen, however, the pending state theoretically should only take a "not so long" amount of time - maybe few hours - 1 day at most and then the Retention policy is good successful. So what should we pick??? :)) Very tricky... It could be that for this question when they create the lab for it, the policy was still pending and the intended answer is Y / N / N, or it may not and in fact should be N / N / N. Too ambiguous tbh.

Since the status of the retention policy says Pending, I think BOX 1 is NO.

Remember to check "Applies to content in these location", only File1 will get applied to the policy since its located in SharePoint. Yes, 7 has passed No, wrong location No, wrong location

The status of the policy says enabled pending. Doesn't that mean that the policy hasn't completely sync'd to all locations and been applied? If that's the case, no files are going to be deleted right away when the policy is turned on.

This is Correct

Every file is older than 7 years, so everything would be deleted, except it only applies to SharePoint sites (and this does NOT include OneDrive sites) Answer: Y, N, N

Right answer. the retention policy is scoped to sharepoint sites only not to ondrive accounts and Exchange online. Further the duration between modification date and creation date of files should be 7 years in order files be deleted referencing to policy settings.

Why file 3 is not deleted?

Answer is N/N/N is 6 years, 5 months, 4 days excluding the end date

Correct - Y / N / N.

It is not correct, from the calculation...that is not 7 years yet!

Correct. It based on creation date and apply only to SharePoint sites
