## Overview

Internal RMS licensing allows users and services in the organization to license protected content for internal distribution and sharing. It's enabled automatically when Azure RMS is activated. If disabled, users can't collaborate on encrypted emails and files internally, and legal holds, eDiscovery, and data recovery operations can't access encrypted content.

## Remediation

- [Set up Message Encryption](https://learn.microsoft.com/purview/set-up-new-message-encryption-capabilities?wt.mc_id=zerotrustrecommendations_automation_content_cnl_csasci)

## Run it

The check runs as part of the whole assessment, with the ZeroTrustAssessment module installed:

```powershell
Install-Module ZeroTrustAssessment -Scope CurrentUser
Connect-Maester
Invoke-Maester -Pack ZTA -SkipBuiltIn
```

Leave out `-SkipBuiltIn` to run Maester's own checks in the same run.
