EV retention and litigation holds

Thank you in advance for any insight. Our environment is Exchange 2007/2010 with EV 904.

When we have a message in a managed folder (EV managed folder in the Exchange mailbox, originally created using EVPM. Same managed folder exists in user's Personal Vault) with a 7 year retention AND it is set for a litigation hold using a case in Discovery Accelerator…

At 7 years, will the message be removed from the users view on the vault and retained only for access using Discovery Accelerator?

Or

At 7 years, will the message be retained in the users view because the litigation hold is set and will remain there until the litigation hold is removed?

 

  • Unless something has recently change, the item will not be deleted or hidden from the users view until the litigation hold is lifted.

    I believe it has been suggested in the past to change this so the user thinks its gone and also allow a user to think he has deleted the item but right now it can't be done.

    HTH,

  • Thanks to both of you for your responses. JW3, that is quite the thread, and absolutely applicable to our scenario!
