To Install RMS with Service Pack 2

  • Article

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2

To perform this procedure, you must be logged on locally to the administration Web site with a domain user account that is a member of the Administrators group. Members of the Domain Admins group can also perform this procedure. As a security best practice, consider using Run as to perform this procedure.

The computer on which you are installing RMS must be a member server in a domain, or it must be a domain controller. You cannot deploy RMS on a stand-alone server in a workgroup.

Important

Do not provision RMS on any other servers until you have completed both the installation and provisioning of the first server in the root cluster. For instructions, see To Provision the First Server in the Root Cluster, To Provision the First Server in a Licensing-only Cluster, or To Add a Server to a Cluster later in this subject.

Important

If you are upgrading from a previous version of RMS, you must install RMS with Service Pack 1 (SP1) before installing RMS with Service Pack 2 (SP2).
