![]() However, it is recommended to use root cluster only as it will automatically load balance both certificates and licensing requests. When new RMS server add to the infrastructure, based on installed roles it will automatically make it part of relevant cluster. It only responses to licensing requests from clients. In such scenarios, organizations can deploy licensing-only cluster in remote sites. It prevents users by connecting sites through slow links. Licensing Cluster – If organization has multiple active directory sites, there are situation where remote sites prefers to use servers in their own site whenever possible. There is only one root cluster can exist on one AD DS forest. When required, additional RMS servers can be added to the cluster. ![]() By default, it responds to both licensing and certificates requests from clients. Root Cluster – When setup first AD RMS server in infrastructure, it becomes root cluster. There are two type of clusters in AD RMS, If AD RMS Cluster going to have multiple servers it must use MS SQL database in separate server. By default, it uses Windows Internal Database (WID) and it also supports to Microsoft SQL Server Database. AD RMS supports two types of databases similar to AD FS. But there is one requirement for AD RMS cluster if there are multiple servers involves. But in RMS cluster, event it’s have single server it become a cluster. Failover cluster at least needed two nodes. Even its says as “Cluster” it is different from typical Windows failover cluster. It also uses to publish service connection point (SCP), where internal users can automatically discover the URL for AD RMS environment.ĪD RMS Cluster – AD RMS Cluster is a single RMS server or group of servers which shares certificates and licensing requests from its clients. AD RMS can only be installed in AD DS environment and it must be on member servers. Let look in to these components in details.Īctive Directory Domain Services (AD DS) – AD RMS is one of Active Directory Role service. In this post I am going to explain about AD RMS components.ĪD RMS have its own role services and related components which need to work together in order to maintain healthy AD RMS environment. If you didn’t read it yet, you can find it here. In my previous blog post about AD RMS, I have explained what is RMS and its capabilities.
