TRAINING: Active Directory Rights Management Services Technology Overview & Hands-on Lab, May 6th/Irvine

Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS) helps organizations safeguard confidential information from unauthorized use. With persistent usage policies which remain with the information regardless of where it goes, AD RMS helps protect against potential data breaches, and ensures that corporate information is being used as intended. Whether you need a solution to prevent the forwarding of email outside of your organization, or an enterprise-wide security policy enforcement tool for Microsoft Office and SharePoint – you will discover how AD RMS provides an additional layer of assurance to secure collaboration.

Join Microsoft and Titus International (Gold Certified Microsoft Security Solutions Partner) for a detailed overview of information protection (and specifically rights management services) followed by a hands-on lab training and see how AD RMS can help protect your organization. Experience firsthand how easy AD RMS is to install and manage.

The objectives of this course is to provide you with the knowledge and hands-on experience to effectively design and deploy AD RMS. In particular, at the end of this course, you should be able to:

  • Explain the AD RMS architecture and infrastructure
  • Explain AD RMS and its relationship to Desktop applications
  • Install AD RMS
  • Understand AD RMS configuration such as trust policies and rights policy templates
  • Interoperate with other organizations’ AD RMS deployments
  • Understand the integration of RM-enabled applications such as Microsoft Office and SharePoint 2007
  • Understand the management of AD RMS deployment

The first ½ day will help business and technical decision makers:

  • Understand what AD RMS does and how our technology secures documents regardless of where they are stored (data at rest) or in transit (data in motion)
  • Understand how Microsoft Office and SharePoint leverage AD RMS to enable information security and encryption as well as secure collaboration
  • See the ease of the end user experience

The hands-on labs (1 ½ days) will help you:

  • Understand the AD RMS architecture and infrastructure
  • Be able to install and configure AD RMS
  • Understand AD RMS configuration such as trust policies and rights policies

  • Understand the integration of AD RMS-enabled applications such as Microsoft Outlook 2007, Word 2007, Excel 2007 and PowerPoint 2007
  • Understand the management of a deployment of AD RMS

What Is a Hands-on-Lab?
This isn’t your typical IT class. This hands-on lab is for experienced IT Pros who want to "try it out." You’ll spend most of the day getting hands-on practice and experience with the new product features and scenarios in your own lab environment with very little instructor presentation.

Who Should Attend
This course will be segmented in such a way where the first half day will be an AD RMS overview for Technical/Business Decision Makers to help with planning and implementing an information security strategy of which AD RMS is a component. The audience for the course also includes IT security staff as well as system administrators and engineers who work with the installation, configuration, and maintenance of a variety of server types and have two to three years of experience managing an enterprise-level Microsoft Windows Server environment.
