Microsoft Purview: Data Lifecycle Management-New cmdlet to remove retention from inactive mailboxes

Why it matters: Generally available

What to do: Now we are introducing a PowerShell cmdlet that enables retention policies or labels to be removed in bulk from these items.

Today, there is not a way to remove retention policies or labels (called a hold in Exchange) from items in inactive mailboxes in bulk. Now we are introducing a PowerShell cmdlet that enables retention policies or labels to be removed in bulk from these items. This removal will not affect legal holds.
