Applies to: Exchange Server 2013
In Microsoft Exchange Server 2013, you can configure Information Rights Management (IRM) so that Exchange Search can index IRM-protected messages.
When members of the Discovery Management role group perform an In-Place eDiscovery search, IRM-protected messages are returned in the search results and copied to the Discovery mailbox specified in the search. Furthermore, members of the Discovery Management role group can use Outlook Web App to access the IRM-protected messages that were copied to the Discovery mailbox as a result of the discovery search.
Note
Members of the Discovery Management role group can't access IRM-protected messages exported from a Discovery mailbox to another mailbox or to a .pst file. IRM-protected messages in a Discovery mailbox can be accessed only by using Outlook Web App.
For additional management tasks related to IRM, see Information Rights Management procedures.

This example configures IRM to allow Exchange Search to index IRM-protected messages.
Note
By default, the SearchEnabled parameter is set to $true. To disable indexing of IRM-protected messages, set it to $false. Disabling indexing of IRM-protected messages prevents them from being returned in search results when users search their mailbox or when discovery managers use In-Place eDiscovery.
Set-IRMConfiguration -SearchEnabled $true
For detailed syntax and parameter information, see Set-IRMConfiguration.
This example enables members of the Discovery Management role group to access IRM-protected messages that reside in the Discovery mailbox.
Note
By default, the EDiscoverySuperUserEnabled parameter is set to $true. To disable access to IRM-protected messages for members of the Discovery Management role group, set it to $false.
Set-IRMConfiguration -EDiscoverySuperUserEnabled $true
For detailed syntax and parameter information, see Set-IRMConfiguration.
