SCRetentionCompliancePolicy TeamsChatLocation not enabled in the Tenant after creating Microsoft Teams Chat Standard Retention Policy/Rule via DSC

[atdheekurteshi]

Details of the scenario you tried and the problem that is occurring

SCRetentionCompliancePolicy -Name 'Microsoft Teams Chat Standard Retention Policy' can be created with the following PS Code but the settings weren't applied correctly on the tenant:

PS C:\Windows\system32> Publish-DscConfiguration -Path C:\Users\src\MOFs\MainConfig -Force -Verbose
PS C:\Windows\system32> Start-DscConfiguration -UseExisting -Force -Verbose -Wait  

SCRetentionCompliancePolicy -Name 'Microsoft Teams Chat Standard Retention Policy' can be crated with -TeamsChatLocation 'All' attribute but it was not enabled on the Tenant via Microsoft365DSC.

In PowerShell when I run the following commands everything seems to be working fine for SCRetentionCompliancePolicy and i can see the changes in the Tenant and TeamsChatLocation its enabled:

PS C:\Windows\system32> New-RetentionCompliancePolicy -Name 'Microsoft Teams Chat Standard Retention Policy' -Comment 'abc' -Enabled:$false -RestrictiveRetention:$false -TeamsChatLocation 'All'

Name Workload                                                                    Enabled Mode
---- --------                                                                    ------- ----
Microsoft Teams Chat Standard Retention Policy Exchange, SharePoint, OneDriveForBusiness, Skype, ModernGroup, DynamicScope False   Enforce

I am trying to better understand the issue at hand. Let's say I am using the following config:

                SCRetentionCompliancePolicy Container-107-13fc9a4b-bf6e-46fa-bdc9-8a9ad8d1f5da
                {
                        Comment = "Standard Aufbewahrungsrichtlinie für Microsoft Teams Chat Protokolle";
                        TeamsChatLocation = "All";
                        Enabled = $False;
                        Ensure = "Present";
                        Name = "Microsoft Teams Chat Standard Retention Policy";
                        RestrictiveRetention = $False;
                        Credential = $Credscredential;
                }
                SCRetentionComplianceRule Container-110-4c097e33-a2a0-41c0-9536-db88d74d2c54
                {
                        RetentionComplianceAction = "KeepAndDelete";
                        ExpirationDateOption = "CreationAgeInDays";
                        RetentionDurationDisplayHint = "Days";
                        Ensure = "Present";
                        RetentionDuration = "730";
                        Policy = "Microsoft Teams Chat Standard Retention Policy";
                        Name = "Microsoft Teams Chat Standard Retention Rule";
                        Credential = $Credscredential;
                }

The policy gets created properly, but is disabled, because its Enabled parameter is set to $false. What is the issue exactly?

Changed it Enabled = $True; for Microsoft Teams Chat Standard Retention Policy
Still TeamsChatLocation = All its not enabled.

It dosen't enable the TeamsChatLocation on the GUI.

Here is the Power-Shell Skript how should it work in the DSC

-DistributionDetail should be provieded if not the TeamsChatLocation: {All} would not be shown in the Power-Shell if Get command is executed but only like this TeamsChatLocation: {}

The resource is already using the -DistributionDetail switch. This was fixed in a release 2 weeks ago. I am investigating why switching Enabled from False to True on a policy doesn't kick in.
