This is from KB 2708963 Administrators receive a security warning and an error message when they try to perform some tasks for Windows Rights Management Services 1.0 for Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 The Universal Description Discover and Integration...

I wanted to call out the AD RMS wiki that a lot of us are working on. There is some great content from a varied source of authors. I know that we are working to push good content out. I know the format of the current page is not the greatest, and we’ll...

Our RMS brother from Germany, Uwe, had the following RMS encounter. He wanted to share it on the blog. Recently had an interesting issue with a customer where Windows XP SP3 clients with Office 2007 SP2 were not able to create or consume RMS protected...

I've officially handed over this blog to Steve Light to make sure everyone is continuing to be updated with trending issues in the world of ADRMS. So I'll leave you with this final word:

This was a very odd corner case. It started with a problem configuring IRM integration on a SharePoint 2010 server. In the SharePoint 2010 Central Administration portal while specifying the Information Rights Management settings the following error occurs...

Greetings! Jason, whose shoes I’ll never be able to fill, has graciously allowed me the use of this blog. I hope to continue to add some value to the RMS community. I was fortunate to get trained by Jason before he went on to greener pastures. Don’t blame...

Well it had to happen eventually. Yes, sadly I'm moving on from the world of RMS, and on to new things. I will miss working with such a great bunch of customers. You have made the last 6 years of working with this product, such a great experience,...

I suspect that this is something that has the potential to turn into me getting fired so I had to sign up. Follow me @ http://twitter.com/#!/adrmsboy to see how long I last. :D -Jason

Well if you happen to log onto connect, and download our new MSIPC and GFP bits...and are also eating some pumpkin pie, then I guess the new stuff we just released fits that criteria (assuming you have a shiny machine). Anyone who knows about and uses...

OK. So I had the need to write a script that pulls the memberof attribute of a user. I needed this script because there was a suspicion that the reason the customer in question could not open content as a superuser is because the RMS Service account...

UPDATE: This issue was recently fixed with the following fix: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2597941/EN-US/ Please let us know if there are still issues AFTER installing this. ================================================================...

You can get it here. IRMCheck Wow....I have no self-humoring comments to make? I guess its time to head back to the mountain summit to self-enlighten. -Jason

This is an oldie, but a goodie, and we get enough calls on it to warrant a blog post. Picture the following scenario: You are sending an email with your favorite secret brownie recipie to a few friends at work. You decide to protect the email (it...

Thanks to Uwe Wizovsky, my German brother from another mother, for todays ADRMS survival tips. HiHo, Tip 1: Faster is better. I recently had a strange issue with a customer. We were seeing a performance issue (very slow response when trying to...

I recently had a call regarding revocation lists. My favorite topic because I really don’t get too many calls on it, and don’t know a lot about it. What we discovered is that revocation lists on Windows Server 2008 and 2008 R2 is actually...

Heres the scenario: You have two forests we will call ForestA and ForestB. You have an RMS server in each forest, and a two way trust setup between forests. You have a group of users in both forests that need to be able to be SuperUsers in both...

Finally. All you Mac users can IRM protect your Office content with Office 2011 for Mac. If you want to start playing with this functionality you need to install SP1 RC (I suggest installing it in a test environment), on your WS2008 R2 RMS server....

OK. I'm kind of tired of taking this call, so its time to blog on this one. You want to push a GPO out to your users that specified the path to the RMS templates. User Configuration\Microsoft Office 2007\Manage Restricted Permissions\Specify Permission...

You've created RMS templates. You've dumped them to the drive to distribute. You look at the templates, and they have a name resembling the following: TMP-O6tlI;egFP6rLDCPLUPNXXxt5YKU=-4Ew62WVSylQ8;ePhl9Yc9N0kB;eRI=-{6d9371a6;k4e2d;k4e97;k9a38;k202233fed26e...

Apparently we moved from wherever we were, to wherever we are now, and now I've got alot of work to do. Hopefully we'll correct alot of this soon. -Jason

OK. I've seen this question asked enough that it warranted a blog post. Sharepoint has many different flavors. There is Microsoft Office Sharepoint Services (MOSS) - Enterprise - Not free, Windows Sharepoint Services - Free, and Sharepoint Foundation...

This message is brought to you by my friend Uwe Wizovsky from our Microsoft Germany site: Hi Everyone, I came across an issue with ADRMS having performance issues talking to a clustered SQL 2008 back-end database server. The client would...

I had a customer call today that had several users trying to activate IRM using the LiveID/Passport Service. It would go through the regular UI, and then come to a grey screen and hang. I took a wild guess, and got a network trace to see if the UI was...

An update for RMS has been released. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/979099 Please read this article, and make sure you have automatic updates enabled. Also read through the article to find which OSs can be updated via Windows Update, and which...

One of the RMS product group members, Peter Gilson, put together this ADRMS logging tutorial. I asked him if I could post it to my blog, and promised that I wouldn't pump it up, or make crazy unfounded claims about what is contained within this video...
