Understanding the architecture, the design, and implementing the solution, to troubleshooting will be covered in a practical and easy-to-read manner. This book is packed with project-based examples with plenty of information about the architecture, functionality, and extensions of Dynamic Access Control to help you excel in real-life projects. The book guides you through all the stages of a successful implementation of Dynamic Access Control. Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Dynamic Access Control will teach you everything you need to know to create your own projects, and is an essential resource for reviewing or extending already existing implementations. The book initially takes you through the task of understanding all of the functionality and extensions with ideas and overviews to help guide you in the decision process.

Summary


The important part in this chapter was to understand the powerful extension of a Dynamic Access Control scenario with integrated AD RMS. Now, you can identify and describe the architecture and components of an AD RMS solution. Obviously, this short chapter about AD RMS doesn't explain the whole technology, but gives you a short starter to work with. In addition, you have learned to describe and configure the Rights Protected Folder solution and protect information based on classification. Next, we will extend our Dynamic Access Control solution.
