Additional prerequisites for the archiving of Office 365 RMS encrypted messages

Last published : Apr 17, 2026
From the November 2016 release, Veritas Alta Archiving supports the archiving of Office 365 messages that have been encrypted using Microsoft's Azure Rights Management Services (RMS).
The additional prerequisites for the archiving of RMS encrypted messages are as follows:
  • The message must not also be encrypted with Microsoft Office 365 Message Encryption (OME).
  • You must configure Office 365 manually to perform journal report decryption. The journal report for the encrypted message then includes a clear-text copy of the message, which Veritas Alta Archiving can archive. For information on how to configure journal report decryption, see the following Microsoft article:
