IRM will not work until the server grants permission.

The following error show when configuring IRM of Sharepoint to "Use the 
default RMS server specified in Active Directory", with reference to

The required Windows Rights Management client is present but the server 
refused access. IRM will not work until the server grants permission.
Domain account name used: "MOSS Server$@domain"


With reference to the "Deploying Windows Rights Management Services with 
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 Step-by-Step Guide" 
(http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=76879), I have added "MOSS
Server" 
and "RMS Server\RMS Service Group" to the Security Property of 
ServerCertification.asmx.  No idea why those error appear?

Tip 1 - Enabling IRM on MOSS, when it refuses to work with RMS:
1. Repro the problem:
2. Go to a command prompt on the MOSS machine, and type iisapp:
3. Write down the name of the Sharepoint App pools that are running:
4. Open IIS and expand App Pools:
5. Right click on the App Pool gathered in step 3 and click on Properties:
6. Go to the identity tab, and write down who the app pool is running as.:
7. Go to the RMS machine, and go into the file properties of 
c:\InetPub\wwwroot\_wmcs\Certification\ServerCertification.asmx:
8. Go to the security tab.:
9. Add the “RMS Service Group” the Moss machine name account (i.e. 
“MOSS01$”), and the account name you gathered in step 6. (If it is network 
service then the machine name should be enough). Give them Read + 
Read/Execute permissions.**:
10. Go to a command prompt and type iisreset
