To ease administration of the rights policy templates, you
can store AD RMS rights policy templates in a central location so that
they can be copied to the AD RMS clients. Some distribution methods
include using Systems Management Server, Group Policy, or manually copying the
templates to the AD RMS client. In this guide, the rights policy templates
are copied manually.
Note
The AD RMS service account must have Write access to
the rights policy template shared folder in order for the rights policy
template export function to work correctly.
To create a shared folder for the AD RMS rights policy
templates and set appropriate permissions for the AD RMS service account,
do the following:
To create an AD RMS rights
policy templates shared folder
1. Log on to ADRMS-SRV as
CPANDL\Administrator.
2. Click Start, click Computer, and then double-click Local Disk
(C:).
3. Create a new folder named ADRMSTemplates.
Click Organize, click New Folder,
type the name ADRMSTemplates, and
then press ENTER.
4. Right-click the ADRMSTemplates
folders, and then click Properties.
5. Click the Sharing tab,
and then click Advanced Sharing.

As mentioned earlier in this guide, AD RMS rights
policy templates are created on the AD RMS cluster and then exported to a
shared folder. If your users will be using the AD RMS-enabled application
only when connected to the internal network, the templates can be accessed from
the shared folder by the clients as needed. In this case, all AD RMS users
should have Read access to this shared folder in order for them to use the
rights policy template.
Alternatively, the templates can be copied from the shared
folder to the client computers. This enables the templates to be used when
users are not connected to the network, such as when traveling with a laptop or
from another mobile device. Because the most common deployment is to copy the
templates to the client computers, this is the approach explained in this
guide.
To create a new AD RMS rights
policy template
1. Open the Active Directory Rights Management
Services Administration console. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Active
Directory Rights Management Services.
2. In the Active Directory Rights Management
Services Administration console, click LocalHost.
3. In the Tasks box in
the Results pane, click Manage rights
policy templates.
4. To enable exporting of the AD RMS
rights policy templates, click Properties in the Actions pane.
5. Select the Enable export check
box, type \\adrms-srv\ADRMSTemplates
in the Specify templates file location (UNC) box, and
then click OK.
6. In the Actions pane,
click Create Distributed Rights Policy Template to
start Create Distributed Rights Policy template wizard.
7. Click Add.
8. In the Language list,
choose the appropriate language for the rights policy template.
9. Type CPANDL.COM
CC in the Name box.
10. Type CPANDL.COM
Company Confidential in the Description box, and
then click Add.
11. Click Next.
12. Click Add, type employees@cpandl.com in The
e-mail address of a user or group box, and then click OK.
13. Select the View check
box to grant the EMPLOYEES@CPANDL.COM group Read access to any document
created by using this AD RMS rights policy template.
14. Click Finish.

The AD RMS client is included in the default
installation of Windows Vista. Previous versions of the client are
available for download for other Windows operating systems.
This guide assumes that an AD RMS cluster is already
configured in a test environment. Additionally, extra configuration is required
on the AD RMS client workstation so that the rights policy templates are
accessible. To make the AD RMS rights policy templates accessible, you
must copy the AD RMS rights policy templates to the client computer and
create a registry entry that points to the location of the rights policy
templates.
In order for the AD RMS client computer to locate the
templates, you must add a registry entry and copy the AD RMS rights policy
templates locally. To do this, you must complete the following steps before
rights-protecting a document:
To make AD RMS templates
available to users on ADRMS-CLNT
1. Log on to ADRMS-CLNT as Nicole Holliday
(nhollida@cpandl.com).
2. Click Start, type regedit.exe in the Start
Search box, and then click the regedit.exe icon
under Programs.
3. Expand the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common\DRM
Note
If DRM was not already created as a part of the
key, you must create it manually.
4. Select DRM, click Edit, point to New, click Expandable String Value, and then type AdminTemplatePath.
5. Double-click the AdminTemplatePath
registry value and type %UserProfile%\AppData\Microsoft\DRM\Templates
in the Value data box where %UserProfile% equals C:\Users\<user
name>, and then click OK.
6. Close Registry Editor.
7. Verify that the path
C:\Users\nhollida\AppData\Microsoft\DRM\Templates\ is valid. If it is not,
create the appropriate folders.
8. Click Start, type \\ADRMS-SRV\ADRMSTemplates in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.
9. Copy the exported AD RMS rights policy
templates from \\ADRMS-SRV\ADRMSTemplates to
C:\Users\nhollida\AppData\Microsoft\DRM\Templates.

Note
Copying the AD RMS rights policy templates to the
client computer is not required if the rights policy templates do not have to
be available offline.
To verify the functionality of the AD RMS deployment,
you log on as Nicole Holliday and then restrict permissions on a Microsoft
Word 2007 document by using the AD RMS rights policy template created
earlier in this guide. This policy gives CP&L employees the ability to read
the document but not to change, print, or copy. All other people have no access
at all to the document. You then log on as Stuart Railson and verify that
Stuart Railson, a member of the Employees group at CP&L, cannot print the
document.
To restrict permissions on a
Microsoft Word 2007 document
1. Log on to ADRMS-CLNT as Nicole Holliday
(nhollida@cpandl.com).
2. Click Start, click All Programs, click Microsoft Office,
and then click Microsoft Office Word 2007.
3. Type CP&L
Employees cannot print this document on the blank document page, click
the Microsoft Office button, point to Finish,
point to Restrict Permission, click Restrict
Permission as, select nhollida@cpandl.com in the
Select User dialog box, and then click OK.
4. In the Permission dialog
box, select the Restrict permission to this document check
box, click Read, type the name of the user or group to
be restricted. In this case, type employees@cpandl.com,
and then click OK twice.
5. Click the Microsoft Office button,
click Save As, and then save the file as
\\ADRMS-DB\public\ADRMS-TST.docx.
6. Log off as Nicole Holliday.
|
Next, log on as Stuart Railson and open the document,
ADRMS-TST.docx.
To view a protected document
1. Log on as Stuart Railson
(srailson@cpandl.com).
2. Click Start, point to
All Programs, point to Microsoft Office,
and then click Microsoft Office Word 2007.
3. Click the Microsoft Office button,
click Open, navigate to \\ADRMS-DB\public, and then
double-click ADRMS-TST.docx.
The following message appears: "Permission
to this document is currently restricted. Microsoft Office must connect to
https://adrms-srv.cpandl.com/_wmcs/licensing to verify your credentials and
download your permission."
4. Click OK.
The following message appears: "Verifying
your credentials for opening content with restricted permissions…"
5. When the document opens, click the Microsoft Office button. Notice that the Print
option is not available.
6. Click View Permission in
the message bar. You should see that AD RMS rights policy template has
been applied to this document.
7. Click OK to close the
My Permissions dialog box, and then close Microsoft
Word.

You have successfully deployed and demonstrated the rights
templates policy feature of AD RMS, using the simple scenario of applying
a rights policy template to a Microsoft Word 2007 document. You can also
use this deployment to explore some of the additional capabilities of
AD RMS through additional configuration and testing.
