Is it possible to prevent users from using the ''Purge'' option from the ''Recover deleted items'' in Office 365?

Hi,
After speaking with a Microsoft engineer over the phone, I've been told that there is no way to prevent users to go to their OWA and manually Purge specific items from the ''Recover deleted items''. The Microsoft tech told us to place the desired mailboxes
on a litigation-hold and that all data will be recoverable... but only from the time you place the mailbox onto Litigation-Hold and previous items, which doesn't take effect for new-coming emails. 
1- From what I understand, any new items coming in the mailbox after the Litigation-Hold is put in place will still be ''purgeable'', right?
2- Is there a way (PowerShell, Security group, etc.) that can prevent a user from using the Purge option?
We are very surprised that there is absolutely no thread that talks about this issue, which in our opinion, is a major legal and security flaw from Office 365. This is a main concern for us to actually go with Office365. For instance, this means that at
any given time, if a user exchanges emails with a competitor, they can manually purge emails sent and receive as soon as it is sent/received, even after Litigation-Hold is in place.
Thank you for your reply and let us know if you have more questions.

Thank you for the reply.
Is there still a way to prevent users from using the Purge option, like with a Powershell script to disable Purge?

  • Is it possible to prevent users from viewing a page in Edit Mode?

    Hello everyone,
    I would like to know if it is possible to prevent users from accessing a portal page in Edit Mode. Currently, the users do not have access to any links that take them to edit mode, but if they add &_mode=16 to the end, they view the page in edit mode. Granted, they don't have permissions to add or edit content, but I would like to keep them from seeing this.
    I am using 9.0.4.1
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
    Jim

    hi jim,
    you cannot really configure this in portal. if somebody manually appends &_mode=16 we display the default edit mode, but fully enforce security. this means that the user cannot see anything he is not allowed to see: like pending items, hidden, expired or deleted items. as you said he also cannot add, edit or delete any items.
    regards,

    errors (-50) occured when i was using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in my iTunes application on my computer.
    what is it?

    Quoted from the link I provided you with, in your other post.
    These alerts occur due to timeouts or conflicts trying to write a file during download.
    If you encounter this issue while accessing iTunes Store:
    See iTunes 9: "One Moment Please" or "Error (-50)" message when accessing iTunes Store
    If you encounter this issue while while downloading something from the iTunes Store:
    Delete your iTunes Downloads folder, located in:
    Mac OS X:
  ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads   Note: "iTunes Media" may appear as "iTunes Music. Also, the tilde (~) refers to your Home directory.
    Windows Vista:
  \Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
    Windows 7:
  \Users\username\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
    Windows XP:
  \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
    After locating your iTunes Downloads folder:
    Quit iTunes.
    Delete the Downloads folder on your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password.
    If you encounter this issue while while downloading Digital Copies using Windows:
    Use MSCONFIG (directions for Windows XP and Windows Vista/Windows 7) to disable conflicting software.
    If using MSCONFIG steps resolves the issue, you may want to use the System Configuration Utility to turn on the third-party System Services and Startup Items one at a time (restarting your computer after turning on the item or items) to identify which System Service or Startup Item is causing the conflict.
    You can turn all of them back on by selecting the Normal Startup option under the General tab of the System Configuration Utility window, but please note that this may cause the issue to reoccur.
    If you are able to isolate the issue to a particular third-party software, you may wish to contact them to let them know of the conflict.

  • Recovering an Entire Folder from Recover Deleted Items

    Question:
    If an entire folder is deleted , placed in Deleted Items, then Deleted Items is emptied ... can the entire Folder be recovered to Deleted Items from
    Recover Deleted Items function?
    I seem to recall that this was once possible - but when I test with Outlook 2013 with my Exchange Server 2013 - only the mail items come back to Deleted Items - the original folder is not restored.

    The Recoverable Items folder resides in the non-IPM subtree of each mailbox. The non-IPM subtree is a storage area within the mailbox that contains operational data about the mailbox. This subtree isn't visible to users using Outlook, Microsoft Office Outlook
    Web App, or other email clients.
    I would refer you on this informative technet gallery that will help you to understand this concern in depth and recover the entire folder into previous used version back :https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee364755%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx
    Also, please check this another helpful resource :https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff660637%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx
    Moreover, if you wish to manage this task automatically, you may also give a shot to this automated solution (http://www.exchangeserverrecovery.com/) that could be a good alternative approach in such critical
    circumstance.

    I'm a beginner and would like to know which Photoshop to use (so many options). The only edits I care about being able to do are: whitening teeth, smoothing complexions/taking away blemishes.  Does any photoshop have these options? I haven't been able to find the teeth whitening one anywhere. Also, I don't want it to lessen the high quality if my photos.  Thank you so much!!

    Hi Erika,
    I came to Lightroom quite recently (in the last month!)  from Photoshop Elements 11. I like the organization features in LR better, but for adjustments such as the ones that you mentioned I would leave LR and go back to Photoshop Elements 11, primarily because that is what I know. I don't use the subscription service, mainly because I already owned and installed the boxed version of Photoshop Elements 11 and adding it to a subscription service with Lightroom seemed redundant. I am sure someone in the community will (or has) comment(ed) that it is possible to whiten teeth and cure blemishes within LR, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet. Check out the TV Adobe free tutorials, particularly Julianne Kost's tutorials. She has a good presentation style and you might find the LR answer that you need with detailed instructions.

  • Text field properties-Using the 'required' option in the text field properties.

    Using the required' option in the text field properties.
    The 'help' manual describes the 'required' function as this: Required Forces the user to fill in the selected form field. If the user attempts to submit the form while a required field is blank, an error message appears and the empty required form field is highlighted.
    My users ARE not submitting the form, they open the pdf, fill it out and print it. HOW can I, make a field "required', I don't want them to skip/leave blank specific fields. However, if I choose the box 'required' in the text field properties, and I begin filling out the form, I can just tab past that field that I've choose as 'required', and I do not get
    prompt/error message or anything, it allows me to save, or print.
    I WANT SOME TYPE OF message (similar to enter a company order form
    off the web, where you can't continue without filling out 'required' fields).
    Is there a step/option I am not doing?

    Then you are going to have to write some JavaScirpt to be executed by the "Will Print" document action to check all the requried fields, either by name or by the 'required' property and handle the issue of the imcomplete fields. You will not be able to stop the print, but you could display and error field so the user knows the form is incomplete and the printed form also conatains this information.

  • Recover Deleted Items - where do they recover to when the mailbox is selected from Outlook, versus a particular folder

    We are using Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013 in our Exchange 2013 SP1 environment.
    I noticed the following behavior when recovering deleted items:
    From Outlook, I select my mailbox name and choose Folder-Recover Deleted Items.  Then, I select some items and click Restore Selected items.  However, I cannot find where these items are restored.
    If I select a folder under my mailbox, then go to Folder-Recover Delete Items, the restored items go into that particular folder.
    So, my question is, in the first scenario (entire Mailbox selected, not a particular folder), where are the restored items going?
    Has anyone else encountered this?

    Hi,
    Recovered items are restored to the folder you’re working in. But root mailbox (mailbox name) is not supported to show items by default.
    To find these messages, please take the following steps:
    Right-click on root mailbox (mailbox name), choose Data File Properties.
    Under Home Page tab, uncheck the box “show home page by default for this folder”
    Click OK to save this change, then check the root mailbox.
    Best Regards.

  • Should I define tables in the CSS file or from the Table option on the menu bar?

    I am having trouble understanding which table definitions are the ascendant ones: the CSSfile table definitions or the definitions from the Table option on the menu bar. Is there a conflict if I am applying the CSS style to every topic? Who wins...CSS or Table?

    Hi there
    Sorry, but I think you are a bit confused. I'm assuming here that you are referring to defining tables via the toolbar? Where you use this button?
    That simply inserts the table structure which is later styled using CSS.
    Then there is the other option where you click Table > Insert > Table and you do two things. You insert the table structure as well as some special CSS codes that are added to your CSS file.
    Cheers... Rick

  • How do I remove the "Dock" option from the Apple Dropdown Menu

    I work for a school district where I am continuosly having to go back into Mac labs and reverting the settings on the dock back to normal.  Students are changing the size, position and content of the dock, as well as hiding the dock.  These computers are used by students k-6 and the younger children are getting confused when they com in and they cannot find the dock or its not where it is supposed to be.  I have been able to lock the sizing, position and content of the dock but am not finding a way to elimante the hiding of the dock.  Preferably I would like to remove the "dock option from the Apple dropdown menu.  Please help!!!!

    This question was asked quite a while ago and the suggestion was to use Server Admin Tools, which I know nothing about. You'll have to look into that. If these Macs are running off a server, then this might work for you. I'm seeing that Server Admin Tools from Apple is still current.

    Sounds like an activation issue. Quite Premiere Pro. Sign out of Creative Cloud. Restart Premiere Pro. Sign back in: http://bit.ly/CC-sign-out

    Why can't i access or click on the menu options at the top of ANY web page? Also, Can't close a moddle window using the x in the upper right,?

    Problems with buttons and links at the top of the page not working can be caused by an extension like the Yahoo! Toolbar or a Babylon extension that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links and buttons in that part of the screen not clickable.
