Office 365 Makes Message Encryption Even Easier
Office 365 now includes out-of-the-box email encryption, which might just mean that the era of using S/MIME and PGP might be coming to a close, at least inside Office 365. The new functionality score...
Nice article Tony. One minor point, per my understanding 'Do Not Forward' is not a template per se, but rather a collection of rights. Hence why an administrator wouldn't see 'Do Not Forward' as a template in the Azure portal - could be a source of confusion.
Hi Neil,
Couple of points. First, DNF is reported as a template by Test-IRMConfiguration.
Test-IRMConfiguration -Recipient Kim.Akers@office365itpros.com
esults : Acquiring RMS Templates ...
- PASS: RMS Templates acquired. Templates available: Intellectual Property, Accounting Information, Tenant - Confidential View Only, Tenant - Confidential, Encrypt, Do Not Forward.
Verifying encryption ...
- PASS: Encryption verified successfully.
Verifying decryption for recipient: Kim.Akers@office365itpros.com ...
- PASS: Decryption verified successfully.
Verifying IRM is enabled ...
- PASS: IRM verified successfully.
OVERALL RESULT: PASS
So, IRM considers DNF to be a template.... But more importantly, the definition of a tenant is a collection of rights assigned to one or more recipients. DNF defines a collection of rights and it applies to anyone who receives a message, so it is a template.

I went and had another look, and it's interesting how Microsoft states in its AIP documentation that DNF is not a template (as shown here in the 'Do Not Forward option for emails' section). Oh well! But I guess the 'don't go looking to customise it in the Azure portal' guidance is valid for administrators.
