Activation
Both a computer and a user (or group) need to be activated for an Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS) application to work. Computer activation is the process of acquiring a machine certificate. User activation is the process of obtaining a rights account certificate that ties a specific user to a specific activated computer. Machine activation and user activation must be performed separately.
There are two types of activation.
| Section | Description |
|---|---|
| Machine Activation | Describes computer activation. |
| User Activation | Describes user activation. |
Note When attempting enterprise activation, you must activate from an AD RMS service in the same Active Directory forest as your Windows user account.
