Office 365 - convert a deleted mailbox to a inactive mailbox

In Office 365 you can convert mailboxes for old employees to inactive mailboxes. This will preserver the mailbox in Office 365 (and can later be connected and/or searched with eDiscovery).
 .
  • Put an active mailbox on LitigationHold
    Set-Mailbox rikardst -LitigationHoldEnabled $true
  • Remove LitigationHold
    Set-Mailbox rikardst -LitigationHoldEnabled $false
  • Convert a deleted mailbox to inactive (put it on LitigationHold)
    • First assign a license to the user
    • Then put it on LitigationHold
      Set-Mailbox rikardst -LitigationHoldEnabled $true
    • Wait 60 minutes
    • Remove license
You cannot place LitigationHold on a deleted object (thats why you need to assign a license first).
