AD RMS Decommissioning
Applies To: Windows Server 2008
Decommissioning in Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS) is the process in which rights-protected content receives a key to automatically decrypt it. Decommissioning is used when an organization must retire an AD RMS cluster. Servers in the AD RMS cluster should remain in decommissioning mode and available on the network until all rights-protected content has been decrypted. While the AD RMS cluster is in decommissioning mode, no new content can be published as rights-protected.
