The installing user account must have acess to read and write to the IIS home directory to create the AD RMS virtual directory. If the AD RMS administrator account (the user account installing AD RMS) does not have access to create the AD RMS virtual directory, the installation will fail. You should grant Read and Write permissions on the IIS home directory to the AD RMS administrator account and install AD RMS again.
To perform these procedures, you must be a member of the localAdministrators group, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.
