Office 365 (Exchange) Change Default RetainDeletedItemsFor

I would like to change the deleted items retention period (the amount of time a person can recover a deleted item) from the default 14 days to the maximum of 30 days. I am aware I can do this via a PowerShell command per existing mailbox but would like to set the default value so every subsequent mailbox that is created would inherit the 30 days setting.

TIA,
- Brian

That's too bad but it is what I was afraid of. It would be nice to have their settings pre-configured so a non-sysadmin could setup accounts. <shrug>

Thanks.
You can grant permissions to certain people to run this command, RBAC gives you a lot of flexibility.
I'm going to split the points but didn't really get what I was wanting. I do understand the feature I want/need, making the "-RetainDeletedItemsFor 30" command a system-wide default, is not available on the service. :(

Thanks
