So IRM is designed for internal organizational usage, but can be tweaked for external users. This makes sense because IRM/WRM is certificate/trust based and how can you verify external users are who they allege? You could create local exchange accounts for those users and have then use your OWA with the IRM/WRM plug. But Windows Live can also fulfil the external trust requirement if you dont want to hand out email accounts, but then you have to make sure each external user has that live account.
If you have premier support, MS has a couple great PSEs that have setup this configuration before and would be pro-active hours well spent. -Troy ________________________________ From: Roger Wright [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 05, 2008 11:50 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: IRM Configuration Exchange 2003 & Outlook 2007 Looking at IRM for Outlook and am unclear on some of the concepts. Is this only for use within an organization or can an IRM-protected message be opened by any external party with Passport credentials? Apparently, web-based email recipients can also open the messages once they install the IE add-in . Is this correct?
