DescriptionActive Rights Management Services (AD RMS) group membership expansion across forests failed.
Event InformationAccording to Microsoft :
Cause :
This event is logegd when Active Rights Management Services (AD RMS) group membership expansion across forests failed.
Resolution :
Check group expansion pipeline URL
When Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS) users consume rights-protected content that was not protected in the user account's home forest (the Active Directory forest where the user account resides), the AD RMS cluster will contact the AD RMS cluster in the remote forest (an Active Directory forest with AD RMS installed and an AD RMS trust policy established) by using group expansion. The AD RMS group expansion URL must be valid and the AD RMS service account must have access to the AD RMS group expansion pipeline.
Note :
To perform these procedures, you must be a member of the local Administrators group, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.
Ensure that AD RMS group expansion URL is correct
To ensure that the AD RMS group expansion URL is correct:
1.Log on to a server in the AD RMS cluster in the home forest using the home cluster's AD RMS service account credentials.
2.Click Start, clickAll Programs, and then clickInternet Explorer.
3.In the address bar, type http(s)://cluster_url/groupexpansion/groupexpansion.asmx where cluster_url is the cluster URL for AD RMS in the remote forest, and then press ENTER.
4.Verify that the GroupExpansionWebService Web Service Web page appears in the browser window.
5.If the GroupExpansion WebService Service Web page does not appear, add the AD RMS service account to the AD RMS cluster group expansion pipeline in the remote forest.
Add the AD RMS service account to the cluster group expansion pipeline in the remote forest
To add the AD RMS service account to the cluster group expansion pipeline in the remote forest:
1.Log on to an AD RMS server in the remote forest.
2.ClickStart, and then clickComputer.
3.Navigate to the IIS home directory. By default, the path to this directory is %systemdrive%:\inetpub\wwwroot where %systemdrive% is the partition on which Windows is installed.
