Active Directory Rights Management

Hello Professionals,
what is exactly this term, where is used and how. After enabling what feature will be available for use.Having lots of questions for this term, and started to check on my lab setup.
got some explanation that AD RMS is basically feature that allow to provide users to give read,open, modify and further access/privileges/authorize on email messages,email messages from being forwarded,edited or copied by unauthorized individuals, internal websites and internal documents. AD RMS is integrated with AD FS, where 2 different organization can share information and only one need to install AD RMS feature.

Below roles help to delegate of AD RMS functionality.
1.AD-RMS Enterprise Administrators
2.AD-RMS Template Administrators
3.AD-RMS Auditors
After Installing this role, new role automatically created on server as local security groups.These groups allow and enable to manage the AD RMS environment more efficiently.
AD-RMS Service Group: At time of installing AD-RMS wizard ask to create or provide credential a user as service to communicate and gather informations.This is set as service account and with automatic startup stage.
AD-RMS Template Administrators:Users added to this group are authorised only for manage policy template. Like create, modify, update, export or import.
AD-RMS Enterprise Administrators: Users belong to this group having full access to AD-RMS environment.They can delegate permission, modify configuration. Just like Local administrator access to the server. Its adviced to limited with few people.
AD-RMS Auditors:Users belong to this group are allowed and authorised to audit, manage logs and reports.Its kind of read only access. 
First will start with installing AD RMS and then will go through with basic and advanced configuration.
From Server Manage Add Roles and check AD-RMS to install
 In very first installation it will create new cluster with root in your forest domain. After that you can add further AD-RMS to this cluster.
Here RMS require a database to save such information.You can select SQL or Windows Internal database. Only limit is with Windows Internal that after you can not add more server to this newly created root cluster.
A service account require to communicate with other RMS services in network.Its always recommended that create a different user for different services.Its best practise to ignore conflicts as well as identify the root cause in the time of problem easily.
Until you are not sure that your AR-RMS is fully deployed and configured with final setting, select Mode-1 and after that you can change it to Mode-2. Because if you selected and finish the setup with Mode-2, you can not undo or modify the changes in configuration after final deployment.Its like you need fresh installation after that to rebuild again.
I selected with central manage option.At least i can identify where i save the keys. other wise there are lots of stuffs for administrator and everyone is in always hurry.
Provided the password to cluster key. As the same authentication will be asked if you add other AD-RMS server in future. 
On first installation, it will select Default only. 
Updated the Cluster Address to enable and make easy for AD-RMS client to communicate.
 
Its SSL certificate is there, so selected automatically.
 This is first AD-RMS Server, so i selected this server an License server
 An Enterprise Admin Access is require to register this service connection point.This is the service for users to discover the AD RMS web services.Only one SCP service can be register in AD Forest. Further advanced configuration for SCP service can be done with ADSI or LDP Tool.For More on SCP and understand its importance, this is ref Link
 here i confirm for the below details and next
 Installation started
 installation Result
 After Completed, when you will open AD RMS tool, it will show like this. Proceed with Yes option.
 But am not able to connect because by default its connecting to port 80 and i have selected 443. So i connected manually with port443
There are looots of option and policies to check. Will update in next blog very soon.
