Protecting a Microsoft Office Word Document with AD RMS

Perhaps you are new to Active Directory – Rights Management Services and you have yet to see a demonstration of the technology. We recently posted a short screencast video on the Windows Server 2008 “How Do I?” Videos site that demonstrates a simple scenario where a user shares a protected Word document with another user in her organization. The purpose of the video is to give you an introduction to AD RMS by enabling you to see how it works in practice.

If you would like to go further in your understanding of AD RMS, you can view the following TechNet webcasts, geared toward an IT professional audience, that go into more detail about the product:
