Part 2: Creating AD RMS Template and Publishing to Domain users in Server 2012 R2

In this multi Part Articles,I have been covered in part 1 how to install and configure AD RMS.

In Continuation to that, First we need to enable the Anonymous Authentications. Open IIS Manager Console

Under the Default Web Site–> _wmcs–> Authentication–> Click on Anonymous Authentication and Enable

Right Click on licensing and select Content View–> Authentication–> Anonymous Authentication and Enable


41

Open Active Directory Rights Management Services. Here You have to use RMSSVC as login account as we have assigned it as Service account.


43

Select Super Users and Enable Super Users


Once Enabled Add the Super users DL Group. It is basically Admin Group who will be having rights to control the RMS Services.

Click on Add

Select English and Name for the Template and give the description for it.

Specify the Extended policy 


52

Click on Finish without selecting the Revocation Policy.

Great. Now will show you how to export and publish the template use SMB Share. First we need to create a folder in RMS Server. Run the below PowerShell command to create a Folder

 New-Item c:\RMSTemplates -ItemType Directory


55

Once created the folder run the below command to share the folder as well as assign the fullrights to RMS Service account. Run the below PowerShell command

 New-SmbShare -Name RMSTEMPLATES -Path c:\RMSTemplates -FullAccess windowstechpro\RMSSVC

Right click on Rights management template and select Properties.


57

Enable the Export Option and browse the SMB path which we create earlier and apply

In the SMB Share folder, You can see that XML file is available and contains the template which we created.
