Windows Server 2003 Rights Management Services

RMS Overview
RMS helps businesses keep their most sensitive information within the organization and lets content owners control how their content is used - who can open and modify a certin document, how long users can access it, and so on. RMS lets you prevent accidental distribution and control what people can do with the information. Further, that protection remains with the file wherever it goes - if someone gains access to a diskette that contains RMS-protected information, that person must have a valid use license against that file in order to read it.

Requirements
RMS requires Windows Server 2003, a database such as Microsoft SQL Server, Windows Server Active Directory, and an RMS-enabled application or browser.

Implementation and Use
One of the goals of RMS is that it's easy to deploy. RMS is an Active Directory - intergrated technology, so it can be rolled out by GPO to get the client bits out.

Components
Server Software: download
Client Software: download
RMS-enabled Applications

Licensing
To use RMS, organizations need the following licenses:

• Windows Server 2003 Server License
• Windows Server 2003 Client Access Licenses (Windows Server CALs)
• Windows Rights Management Services Client Access Licenses (RMS CALs)

Hello,

Rights management service is used for restricting access to rights-protected content to authorized users only. RMS protected content is encrypted and contains an embedded usage policy, which defines the restrictions each user or group has when using the content. Thanks...
