Enable or Disable IRM for Internal Messages

  • Article

Applies to: Exchange Server 2010

In Microsoft Exchange Server 2010, the Rights Management Services (RMS) Prelicensing agent is a built-in agent. Built-in agents aren't visible in the Transport Agents tab in the EMC, and they're not included in the list of agents returned by the Get-TransportAgent cmdlet. For more details, see Understanding Transport Agents.

Prelicensing is enabled for the Exchange organization by default. You can disable it if you want. For more information, see Understanding Information Rights Management.
