Microsoft Purview: Data Lifecycle Management - Graph API Support for Archive Mailboxes

🚨 The Signal: Microsoft Purview now supports Graph API access for archive mailboxes, including auxiliary archives. This change ensures continued programmatic access to archived email data as EWS Graph APIs are deprecated, maintaining data lifecycle management capabilities.

The Impact

Security and compliance teams are affected by the shift to Graph API for archive access, ensuring continued data governance and eDiscovery.

• Security Teams: Ensures continued access to archived data for investigations.
• Compliance Teams: Maintains eDiscovery capabilities for regulatory requirements.
• Data Governance Teams: Supports consistent data retention and deletion policies.
• IT Administrators: Requires updating scripts/tools from EWS to Graph API.

The Action

1. Review existing scripts and applications using EWS for archive mailbox access.
2. Plan migration of EWS-based solutions to Microsoft Graph API for archive mailboxes.
3. Consult Microsoft Graph API documentation for archive mailbox endpoints.
4. Test new Graph API implementations to ensure full functionality and data access.
