If you no longer want to use Microsoft Federation Gateway Support in Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS), you can remove Microsoft Federation Gateway Support from your AD RMS cluster

Caution

Before uninstalling Service Pack 1 for Windows Server® 2008 R2, you must remove Microsoft Federation Gateway Support from the AD RMS cluster. Failure to do this may cause an inconsistent configuration of your AD RMS cluster.

Membership in the AD RMS Enterprise Administrators and the local Administrators group, or equivalent, is the minimum required to complete this procedure.

To remove Microsoft Federation Gateway Support
  1. Log on to a server in the AD RMS cluster.

  2. Open the Active Directory Rights Management Services snap-in console and expand the AD RMS cluster.

  3. In the Actions pane, click Configure Microsoft Federation Gateway settings.

  4. In the Enroll Cluster with Microsoft Federation Gateway wizard, click Terminate Federation Relationship, and then verify that the SSL certificate is the certificate that was used to enroll with the Microsoft Federation Gateway. If it is not, click Browse to select the correct certificate.

  5. Click Next, and then click Finish.

  6. In the tree, click Trust Policies, and then in the Action pane, click Remove Microsoft Federation Gateway Support.

  7. In the Microsoft Federation Gateway Support wizard, click Next, and then click Finish.

  8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 on all other servers in the AD RMS cluster before uninstalling Service Pack 1 for Windows Server 2008 R2 from those servers.
