Great post. Out of the blue, I was tasked with setting this up. Ran right thru your instructions, looked like a hero. Many thanks!!

This is great!!! Someone kind of brought up in passing to me and this video made it very easy. Was getting spun around by all the Microsoft docs!!

[bradpeters]

Fantastic! I cannot tell you how much time this video saved me.

It would be nice to see a video about the RMS templates not showing up during this procedure and the fix required. Just adding one E3 or E5 license to a user is sufficient.

Would you make a video on how to encrypt using smime for office 355 hosted emails? Great video thank you

Good info! You may have to 'set-executionpolicy unrestricted' and 'import-module exchangeonlinemanagement' to be able to 'connect-exchangeonline' and get to the OME Configuration part.

Great video and very well explained sir. My question is what type of Microsoft 365 do I need in order for me to setup OME?

Hellou, how is it possible that in your video is white color behind the logo and blue color behind read button text? I couldn't find anywhere how to set it up.
How to change the logo so that it is stretched over the entire part, as you have it set in the video? Alternatively, advise what program you used to edit it? Thanks

I don't have any RMS templates, the list is empty, how do I get them?

[tommiekholm]

Thanks for the video, helped me alot. I am trying to use the oneliner to add the image to the default OME configuration but for some reason I'm not able to upload?

I get a notification after running the command: "WARNING: The command completed successfully but no settings of 'OME Configuration' have been modified."

Tried the following commans after connecting to powershell online

Set-OMEConfiguration -Identity "OME Configuration" -Image (Get-Content "C:\path\to\logo.jpeg" -Encoding byte)

and

Set-OMEConfiguration -Identity "OME Configuration" -Image

Any ideas?

Hi there,

I know we can only revoke an email that has been sent as a link-based email (wrapper email) via OWA to a single user using Gmail/yahoo etc by selecting the email in sent items and select "remove external access" next to where it says encrypted, but instead, for me it just says "This message is encrypted. What's encryption?".

But it should say "This message is encrypted. Remove external access"

I'm able to revoke the email using PowerShell and that way works fine, but end users should be able to do it via the sent items in OWA.

Licensing is not an issue. IRM is set up as it should be but still end users in my tenant cannot revoke encrypted (wrapper) emails.

Any ideas?

Hi, nice video and the explanation was super precise. I could set the encryption on our O365 tenancy. could you please share information about how the recipient can read our encrypted messages directly (i.e. without having to open it in a browser and signing it every-time.

If I’m not the admin is there anything on my end I can do? My certificate says it’s expired or hasn’t been activated yet whenever I try and send an encrypted email via OUTLOOK I get told I can’t because of the crtificate

How to encrypt protected voice mail, users are homed on Exchange online, created transport rules however emails are encrypted but not voice mail in the email, it is in mp3 format and can be download to local machine.

Are email attachments like spreadsheets encrypted by this OME process?

[julianwgants]

Thanks. is simple clear, You did it so good.

Not sure who needs to hear this in 2024, but MS does not allow encryption unless you have an E5 license now. If you are upgrading to E5, you may have to open Powershell and activate aipservice -'enable-aipseervice'.

Can you please tell if same option of 2nd mail with password as its coming in yahoo or gmail also comes in O365 users
