Then, i read a blog regarding Windows RMS CALS?! what was that?! and do i need to have a certificate server for my RMS. Can you explain to me about this, im confused. Is a certificate server a requirement?!

Hi For Licensing Windows Rights Management Services please check http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/licensing-rights-management.aspx For RMS deployment in AD, its not mandatory to install CA AD RMS Deployment in an Extranet Step-by-Step Guide http://www.microsoft.com/DownLoads/details.aspx?familyid=262768EB-81D8-4C8F-BF2A-66A8D2DC4665&displaylang=en Please check for more information. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753531(WS.10).aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771789.aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772182(WS.10).aspxRegardsRajesh J S

Hi there!Do i have to install a certificate server?! i had downloaded the server and client RMS, and it works fine. i haven't puchase any CALS for that.

Hi As stated above there is no need to install CA for RMS...As per my knowledge there is no requirement of CAL for RMS server.Regards Rajesh J S
