Data Lifecycle Management: Separate Copilot retention policies from Teams chats

In a previous post I mentioned how Microsoft is adding the capability to use Purview Data Loss Prevention on Copilot to block certain information from surfacing for the user. Now, Microsoft is adding Copilot to it's retention policy controls, and starting mid-February, public preview tenants can start exploringthis new feature. Admins will be able to create separate retention policies for Microsoft Teams chats and Microsoft 365 Copilot interactions, and allows for a more tailored data management. The feature will of course require that the targeted users have Microsoft 365 Copilot license.  According to the message center, the public preview will be during February, and we can hope for a general release sometime in March. The feature will be available by default, but policies will have to be set up.

Configure Skype for Business Cloud Connector Edition with your SBC

Microsoft Ignite 2016 in Atlanta is now over. It has been a very busy week for all involved. It was a great opportunity to meet fellow MVP's, new and old partners and customers, and to get a glimpse of the future of Skype for Business (and whatevere else I got to go to).

I was given the opportunity to deliver a session on CCE as an appliance in a SBC, and had a great time doing so. The session is now live, and can be watched at Youtube:


I got great feedback, and might be following up with a couple of deep-dive sessions on the topic in near future.
