Set up the AD RMS Infrastructure

For setting up the AD RMS infrastructure, we refer to the Microsoft Windows Server AD RMS step-by-step guide: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=185635. You will need to prepare four different operating systems and install corresponding applications and services on four separate machines:

  1. Active Directory Domain Controller on ADRMS-DC with Windows Server 2003 (SP2) and Domain Name System (DNS).

  2. Database computer on ADRMS-DB with Windows Server 2003 (SP2) and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (SP2).

  3. AD RMS root cluster on ADRMS-SRV with Windows Server 2008 and Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0.

  4. Client computer on ADRMS-CLNT with Windows Vista and MS Office Word 2007 Enterprise Edition.

Do not install AD RMS until SafeGuard CryptoServer is installed and configured.
