Installing Windows Rights Management

Services with Service Pack 2 Step-by-
Step Guide

About this Guide

This step-by-step walks you through the process of setting up a working Microsoft®
Windows® Rights Management Services (RMS) with Service Pack 2 infrastructure in a
test environment. During this process you create an Active Directory® domain, install a
database server, install RMS, configure the RMS cluster, and configure the RMS client
computer.
Once complete, you can use the test lab environment to evaluate RMS on Microsoft
Windows Server 2003 and assess how it might be deployed in your organization.
As you complete the steps in this guide, you will:
 Prepare the RMS infrastructure.
 Install and configure RMS.
 Verify RMS functionality after you complete the configuration.
The goal of an RMS deployment is to be able to protect information, no matter where it
goes. Once RMS protection is added to a digital file, the protection stays with the file. By
default, only the content owner is able to remove the protection from the file. The owner
can grant rights to other users to perform actions on the content, such as the ability to
view, copy, or print the file. To learn more about the business reasons behind a RMS
deployment, see the white paper "Windows Rights Management Services: Helping
Organizations Safeguard Digital Information from Unauthorized Use"
(http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=64636).

What this Guide Does Not Provide

This guide does not provide the following:
 Guidance for installing and configuring RMS in a production environment.
 Complete technical reference for RMS. For more in-depth technical information about
RMS, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=68637.

Deploying RMS in a Test Environment

We recommend that you first use the steps provided in this guide in a test lab
environment. Step-by-step guides are not necessarily meant to be used to deploy
Microsoft products without accompanying documentation and should be used with
discretion as a stand-alone document.
Upon completion of this step-by-step guide, you will have a working RMS with SP2
infrastructure. You can then test and verify RMS operations through the simple task of
restricting permissions on a Microsoft Office Word 2007 document.
The test environment described in this guide includes three computers connected to the
Internet and using a clean installation of the following operating systems, applications,
and services:

Computer Name Operating System Applications and Services

RMS-SRV Windows Server 2003 with RMS, Internet Information

Service Pack 1 (SP1) Services (IIS) 6.0, World
Wide Web Publishing
Service, Message Queuing
(also known as MSMQ), and
Microsoft SQL Server™ 2005
Standard Edition

DC Windows Server 2003 with Active Directory, Domain

SP1 Name System (DNS)

RMS-CLNT Windows XP Professional Microsoft Office Word 2007

with Service Pack 2 (SP2)

Note
If the RMS server is not connected to the Internet, it must be enrolled offline
before the provisioning of the RMS server is complete.
The computers form a private intranet and are connected through a common hub or
Layer 2 switch. This configuration can be emulated in a virtual server environment if
desired. This step-by-step exercise uses private addresses throughout the test lab
configuration. The private network ID 10.0.0.0/24 is used for the intranet. The domain
controller is named DC for the domain named cpandl.com.
The following figure shows the configuration of the test environment:

RMS Technology Review

RMS provides services to enable the creation of information-protection solutions. RMS is
a format and application-agnostic technology. It will work with any RMS-enabled
application to provide persistent usage policies for sensitive information. Content that can
be protected using RMS includes e-mail messages and documents. RMS includes a set
of core functions that allow developers to add information protection to the functionality of
existing applications.
The RMS system, which includes both server and client components, performs the
following processes:
 Licensing and distributing rights-protected information. An RMS system issues rights
account certificates identifying trusted entities (such as users, groups, and services)
that can publish rights-protected content. Once trust has been established, users can
assign usage rights and conditions to content they want to protect. These usage
rights specify who can access rights-protected content and what they can do with it.
When the content is protected, a publishing license is created for the content. This
license binds the specific usage rights to a given piece of content so that the content
can be distributed. For example, a user can send a rights-protected document to
other users inside or outside of their organization without losing the assigned rights.
 Acquiring licenses to decrypt rights-protected content and applying usage policies.
Users who have been granted a rights account certificate can access rights-protected
content by using an RMS-enabled client application that allows users to view and
work with rights-protected content to preserve that content’s integrity and to apply
usage policies. When users attempt to access rights-protected content, requests are
sent to the RMS system to access, or “consume,” that content. When a user attempts
to consume the protected content, the RMS licensing services on the RMS cluster
issues a unique use license that reads, interprets, and applies the usage rights and
conditions specified in the publishing licenses. The content is decrypted by using the
electronic keys from the content and applications, and the certificates of the trusted
 8

entities. The usage rights and conditions are persistent and automatically applied
everywhere the content goes.
 Creating rights-protected files and templates. Users who are trusted entities in a RMS
system can create and manage rights-protected content by using familiar authoring
applications and tools in a RMS-enabled application that incorporates RMS
technology features. In addition, RMS-enabled applications can use centrally defined
and officially authorized usage rights templates to help users efficiently apply a
predefined set of usage policies.

Software Requirement

Active Directory RMS must be installed in an Active

Directory domain in which the domain
controllers are running Windows
Server 2000 with Service Pack 3 (SP3) or
later. All users and groups who use RMS to
acquire licenses and publish content must
have an e-mail address that is configured in
Active Directory.

Database server RMS requires a database and stored

procedures to perform operations. In this
step-by-step guide you use Microsoft SQL
Server 2005 Standard Edition. In a
production environment, a separate
database server is recommended.

Steps for Installing RMS with SP2

If your test environment does not have Internet access, you should copy the RMS with
SP2 client to RMS client, and copy the RMS with Service Pack 2 server installation
package to the RMS server.
