Rights-Management Add-on for IE

Microsoft has released the Windows Rights Management Services (Windows RMS) add-on for Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE). The add-on will let content owners restrict who can edit, forward, or copy documents, Web-based information, and email.

The Windows RMS for IE add-on works with Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 (SP4), Windows XP, and Windows Me. Windows Me systems must have IE 5.5 SP2 installed and all other systems must have IE 6 SP1 installed.

You can download the Windows RMS for IE add-on from Microsoft's download Web site. People who wish to use the RM for IE add-on must first install the Windows RM Client, which is also available at Microsoft's download Web site. The RM Client requires the Active Directory Client Extension (DSClient).
