I've held off asking for awhile while I was searching for the answer myself. However, I've had no luck finding a definitive answer so here's my question:
Are IM policies retroactive? meaning, if I use a policy that effectively says "dateModified + 180 days = send to recycle bin", will it apply to 1) all documents - even ones that are past 180 days (e.g., 250 days), 2) apply only to current and future documents that roll into their 180th day, or 3) only apply to future documents added?
Like I said, I haven't been able to find a clear, definitive answer, just speculation or assumption. My organization is in a crunch and I need to be sure of this question/answer before I implement. Many t
