Knowing the migrate from AD RMS to Azure RMS shortcut

With the new Azure RMS capabilities, we have several customers who want to migrate their AD RMS infrastructure to Azure RMS. Microsoft provides a high-level plan for the migration process, which includes the following 10 points:

1. Prepare your toolset:
   • Azure Rights Management Administration Tool:http://bit.ly/1SBEM6q
   • BYOK toolset: http://bit.ly/1SE8OYA
2. Export the configuration data of the on-premise AD RMS infrastructure.
3. Prepare the Azure RMS infrastructure for your organization.
4. Migrate the key material and policies to the Azure RMS configuration.
5. Activate Azure RMS.
6. Remove your Service Connection Point information.
7. Relocate the RMS-enabled clients to Azure RMS.
8. Reconfigure on-premise services such as file servers, SharePoint, and Exchange to use the RMS Connector.
9. Decommission the on-premise RMS infrastructure.
10. This is a good chance to renew keys after the migration process.

This small list is just a hint with the most important information in one...
