Hello,

I am currently in the process of deploying RMS in our organization. I was able to successfully verify functionality of IRM using a Windows 7 machine, It works with OWA and Office Pro 2010.

Now with the problem, I am currently having issues opening up an item on Outlook 2011 for Mac. I get stuck with "Office for Mac cannot connect to the Rights Management Services server".

Couple of things that I verified before posting this:

1. I checked if I could go to https://fqdn/_wmcs/certification/certification.asmx
2. I followed the Information Rights Management in Office for Mac 2011 Deployment Guide.

I'm still trying to search for a solution but I figured, I can ask here at the same time just in case someone has the same issue and they were able to resolve it.


Thanks in advance!
