Up Exchange Online support for Active Directory Rights Management Service (AD RMS) retiring
We are retiring Active Directory Rights Management Service (AD
RMS) support in Exchange Online as of February 28, 2021. Moving forward, we
recommend the utilization of Azure Rights Management Service (Azure RMS).
Key Points:
- Timing: February
28, 2021 - Action: review
and assess impact for your organization
How this will affect your organization:
Exchange Online includes Information Rights Management (IRM) that
provides online and offline protection of email messages and attachments.
Although Exchange Online uses Azure Rights Management Service (Azure RMS) by
default, your organization may have configured Exchange Online to use
on-premises Active Directory Rights Management Service (AD RMS). AD RMS support
in Exchange Online is retiring, and will be fully replaced with Azure
RMS.
What you need to do to prepare:
If your organization is already using Azure RMS to encrypt email
in Exchange Online, there is nothing for you to do.
Otherwise, follow the these steps to migrate to Azure RMS
- If your organization has
already set up Azure RMS, you can enable the service in Exchange Online by
running the following Exchange Online PowerShell cmdlet:Set-IrmConfiguration -AzureRMSLicensingEnabled $true
- If your
organization has not yet set up Azure RMS, you’ll need to migrate. For
information, see Migrating from AD RMS to Azure Information Protection.
