Not sure about that, can Admin1 even manage User1's logs?

Wait, can you really assign a 10-year retention just like that?

I thought the Purview Audit license was necessary for extended retention, but I can't recall if it should go to User1 or Admin1.

I feel like assigning the retention add-on to Admin1 could be a step, but it doesn't seem like it directly affects User1's logs.

I remember a practice question about audit logs, and it seemed like the admin role was more about managing policies rather than directly assigning licenses.

I think we need to assign a license to User1 for the audit logs, but I'm not sure if it should be the retention add-on or the Purview one.

This is a tricky one. I'm not sure if I should be focusing on User1 or Admin1. I think I'll go with option C and assign the 10-year retention add-on license to User1, since that's the user whose logs need to be retained.

I'm leaning towards option B. If Admin1 manages the audit retention policies, then it makes sense to assign the 10-year retention add-on license to them, so they can then apply that policy to User1's audit logs.

Okay, let me think this through. Since the goal is to ensure User1's audit logs are retained for 10 years, I would guess that the answer is to assign a 10-year audit log retention add-on license to User1. That seems like the most direct way to achieve the desired outcome.

I'm a bit confused here. The question mentions that Admin1 manages the audit retention policies, but it's asking what I should do first. Should I be focusing on Admin1 or User1?

Hmm, this seems straightforward. I think the key is to identify who has the ability to manage the audit retention policies, which is Admin1 based on the information provided.

But what about assigning a Microsoft Purview Audit (Premium) add-on license to User1? Wouldn't that also work?

I'd go with D. Assigning the Microsoft Purview Audit (Premium) add-on to Admin1 seems like the logical choice to manage the audit logs.
