How are you wanting to discover / manage mailboxes? You can either use the ‘All users’ feature which we recommend by default.. or you can define and manage mailboxes at the ‘AD Group’ level.
Only if you’ve configured / discovered users at the AD Group level could you disable (exclude from backup) all mailboxes tied to that AD group, otherwise you’ll need to manually identify the individuals you want to exclude and update them manually.
Unfortunately we don’t support both methods of discovery, it’s either ‘all users’ or another auto discovery method.
If you wish to switch from All users to AD, you have to disable (remove the policy) from ‘All Users’, create the AD Groups > Assign policies > Run new archive jobs at the AD Group Level etc.
Hopefully that makes sense.

Chris

No, removing the mailboxes under content (either from JAVA GUI or Command Center) will not delete the data. It will honor the retention you have defined.
Only if you ‘DELETE’ data will it clear the data from browse/make it non recoverable prior to defined retention being met: https://documentation.commvault.com/11.22/essential/116694_deleting_messages_in_exchange_mailbox.html
