To ensure that rights policy templates are available in the export location after a system restore of the computer where the rights policy templates are stored, you must export the rights policy templates from the configuration database again.

| If you are using Windows Server 2008 R2 with automatic template distribution enabled, exporting the rights policy templates is not required. |
Membership in the local AD RMS Template Administrators , or equivalent, is the minimum required to complete this procedure.
