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.
