Azure RMS | You just what need to know

There is a ton of information out there.  I for one, always love what can be found in TechNet.  But sometimes, the real meat and potatoes you're looking for is buried within or else down a few pages :( So for myself, and my customers, I like short bulleted lists for the resources I use on such engagements and thus can share with one or more customers.  So here we go!  Here are the latest resources I used to help a recent customer with Azure RMS.  I hope this collection may serve you well also. This may not be everything out there...but it will keep you very busy for a very, very long time!
