RMS includes a management pack that you can use with Microsoft® Operations Manager (MOM). MOM can help you manage the operations of servers that are in your organization by doing the following:

  • Monitoring events that are placed in the Application event log by RMS.

  • Highlighting events that may indicate possible service outages or configuration problems so that you can quickly take corrective or preventative actions.

  • Alerting you to warnings and errors, such as the expiration of your server licensor certificate or the failure of a Web service.

The RMS management pack (RMS_MOMPack.akm) is installed with RMS in the %programfiles%\Windows Rights Management Services\Tools folder.

This management pack contains the following rule sets, which can be used to help the RMS administrator manage the RMS server deployment.
