In this section, we are going to look in to the configuration of AD RMS 2016, and see how it really works. The demonstration environment that it uses was built using Windows Server 2016 with the latest updates. The AD DS forest and domain function levels are also set to Windows Server 2016.

AD RMS can only be installed on a domain member server. I have a demonstration server, which is already a member server of the domain. The first AD RMS server that is added to the forest creates the AD RMS cluster.
