Hello and welcome to implementing Microsoft Exchange Online Archiving Policies. My name is Lee Mucciarone, and I'm a Microsoft 365 content creator for Cloud Academy. I have four years of IT experience working for Microsoft with two years of specialized experience as a customer training specialist, training users on Microsoft tools. As many people are aware, Exchange empowers its organizations with the ability to archive items within their mailboxes using retention policies. Organizations' needs for attention vary depending upon their business, and as such, understanding how to enable, create, and adjust these policies is an important piece of managing your organization's overall compliancy.

Lee has spent most of his professional career learning as much as he could about PC hardware and software while working as a PC technician with Microsoft. Once covid hit, he moved into a customer training role with the goal to get as many people prepared for remote work as possible using Microsoft 365. Being both Microsoft 365 certified and a self-proclaimed Microsoft Teams expert, Lee continues to expand his knowledge by working through the wide range of Microsoft certifications.
