I have a 2 year retention policy set up to run on all Managed Folders but I'd like to keep this from running on the Contacts folder only. Is there a way to easily exclude this folder or do I have to apply the retention on each folder individually? I've attached what it's currently set to look like. We are currently working towards moving away from .pst's so I am increasing all mailbox sizes and applying retention. I won't be applying this retention until the end of the year.<br />

I have a 2 year retention policy set up to run on all Managed Folders but I'd like to keep this from running on the Contacts folder only. Is there a way to easily exclude this folder or do I have to apply the retention on each folder individually? I've attached what it's currently set to look like. We are currently working towards moving away from .pst's so I am increasing all mailbox sizes and applying retention. I won't be applying this retention until the end of the year.

All or nothing on Managed Folders?
