Hello everyone,  I am pretty new to retentionpolicy features and today I read some great articles about it.

However I still have some questions.  
As an administrator I need to know which retentionpolicytags are applied to which mailboxfolders.  

For example, if I assign a retentionpolicy ( the default one ) to all the users, this policy contains retentionpolicytags.

 I want to know:

- What is the default policy tag ( and what does this policy do ( eg: delete items in deleted folder after 1 month ) ) and how do I view this and alter this?

- which tags are applied by default to which folder by the "default MRM policy" ( for example 5 years delete is by default applied to inbox if you apply the default mrm policy )

- How to view which tags are applied to which folders on a users mailbox via Powershell ( not the GUI ).  

Last question: Why do I not have the correct priviliges as the administrator of an exchange organisation in Office 365 to do the "get-mailboxfolder" command on another users mailbox? ( I know it has to do with the managementrole but how do I easily change this so I am able to do this command without changing anything on the users mailbox ).

Many thanks in ad

about retention tag, you can define or use the existing default one. You can create new retention policy based on your requirements and add those retention tags to these policy and assign the policy to mailbox, set-mailbox "xxx" -retentionpolicy "policy name"

to process these tags you need to run start-managementfolder... mailbox name, Once this is processed you can see the retention tags for the items in particular folder (ex deleted items if applied) {deleted after xx days} in the mail item.

Thanks for your reply however, this isn't what I asked for.

Hi,
 
According to your description, I will explain your question one by one:
1. A Default Policy Tag (DPT) applies to untagged items, which are mailbox items that dont have a retention tag applied directly or by inheritance from the folder. We can use EMC and EMS to create DPT, please refer to "Steps 1:Create a retention tag" section:

2. Default MRM Policy is created when Exchange setup. Retention policy tags are created for default folders such as Inbox, Delete Items, etc.
More details about Retention tags and retention policies, for your reference:

3. Run below commands to get retention policy:
Get-Mailbox Alias | Select RetentionPolicy
Get-RetentionPolicy "policy name" | FL *RetentionPolicyTagLinks*
Get-RetentionPolicyTag "tag name" | FL *Type*

Thanks,
