Hi,
With so many people working remote these days we have a question.
Assume our employee Bob goes home, and starts his personal home computer, opens a browser and connects to the Company Azure SharePoint Portal, Outlook Online, Teams online, etc and opens a Word document. Bob then prints this Word document on his home printer.
We dont want that to happen. We dont want Bob printing company material when he is at home (on his home computer and via his home printer - neither being company controlled in any way).
However, when Bob returns to the office on Friday, he must be able to access and print that Word document - on the office provided computer and printer.
Our question is, is this scenario even possible?
IMHO, the MS stack wont achieve the above...and we may need to explore things like:
- blocking the use of untrusted devices (home pc's)
- possibly the use of Citrix desktop / Windows Cloud PC (for home use)
- or enforcing the use of only company owned devices to access company resources
Are we on the right track?
Look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers,
SK

Hi Reza,
Thank you for the links.
What I fail to understand is how Information Rights Management will solve this problem.
How will Rights Management be able to detect that when I am in the office, using company equipment I should be able to print a document....while when I am working from home, using my home computer (not company supplied), I shouldn't be able to print that very same document on my home printer (not company supplied).
Are you able to clarify, in detail, how Rights Management achieves this functionality?
Thank you.
