I understand you have a important xls file that protected by IRM cannot be
opened now.
I can understand how important the issue caused, for the IRM issue, I
suggest we directly contact IRM/RMS engineer for further support.
On my end, I checked this article and would like to know if you are using
Windows XP or Vista and could you open the edit permission window again to
check the permission?
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HA101029181033.aspx
For this kind of issue, we may have little troubleshooting steps on Excel
application end, you may contact IRM/RMS engineer to check if there is a
way to get the document back.
Thank you for your understanding, hope the issue can be figured out soon.

I have the exactly same problem with you. And it started from Nov 18,
2009 (Australia Time)
I am discussing with Microsoft support team at the moment.
Have you got any solution for this?
Thanks,

This cant be a coincidence that so many have it, starting on the same day.
If anyone finds a result, let us all know.
If you all got the issue recently, please help check if you have Automatic
Update enabled, some times, the update may be conflict to some third party
software on your machine and cause unexpected result. You may remove all
updates for Windows and Office after the day that the issue occurred, if
there is any update, don't hesitate to reply here, I will report the issue
immediately for you.
Thank you for the time and effort the issue, hope we can figure out the
root cause soon.

I've actually installed new Windows XP S2 + Office 7 ultimate. And
there were no additional updates.
It means, the system is a fresh condition without any recent updates.
Unfortunately, the result was the same.
By the way, when I installed my credentials into the new system again,
it says that I can only use the same credentials for 28 computers and
now I left only 1 time.
what does this mean?
Thanks,
Steve

The only update I received before November 18th was the Definition Update
for Windows Defender - KB915597 (Definition 1.69.995.0), but it run a few
minutes earlier than my last use of my protected excel file (it run 8:02 a.m.
and my last access to my excel file was 8:30 a.m.). Is It possible that this
caused caused problems after reboot?
I don't think so...
It seems this problem has been created by Microsoft system on Nov 18,
2009.
The impact of this problem should be similar to the one caused by
HOTMAIL service few years ago that a lot of hotmail users lost their
emails and contacts which hotmail server had kept due to the system
error at Microsoft.
At the moment, many people including myself can't access the documents
which have been used for a long time due to this problem.
The fact that we have used Microsoft IRM for our documents explains
that how important our documents having IRM function are for our work
and life.
I really would like to know whether Microsoft can fix this as this
problem is related to encryption technology.
Could someone explain whether it can be fixed by Microsoft or the
chance is low as Microsoft is not capable of fixing this issue due to
the lack of technology or etc although they created this system/
service?
If they can't fix this, I will have to believe that the time will come
soon when Robots can control human due to the system error human
created which was shown in I-Robot Movie.

I can understand the inconvenience you all experienced, it seems the issue
is caused by the HOTMAIL service.
Since we usually support Excel application here, we are not know much about
this service that using live passport to protect excel, could you let me
send me more information such as the page you know the service and how to
configure, I will try to find out which department involves in this issue
and try to contact them directly.
Thank you, I am looking forward to learn more about this service.

This problem should be supported by an IRM expert/development team in
Microsoft.
They should know exactly what we're talking about if they read the
articles in this newsgroup.
I can't believe people can't get a proper support from Microsoft for
the critical problems like this caused by Microsoft for almost 1
week.
Would Microsoft start taking an action if this issue comes up on the
news next to the Windows 7 commercial?
By the way, you can simply try to use IRM service for your excel
document through putting "restrict access" function on it, then you'll
understand what it is.
Thanks,
Steve
I tried to contact other engineers to see if they have encounter this
specific issue. It seems the issue does not related to the Excel
application (it could be reproduced on any machine), it seems more related
to the .net passport.
I also find it is a trial service and services description in the agreement:
Services Description. You may use the Services to authenticate your user
account using your Windows Live ID and a rights account certificate
assigned to you. Once established as a valid user and your credentials
confirmed, you may use the Services to protect or use rights-protected
content. You are solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of
using the Services, and assume all risks associated with using the
Services, including but not limited to risks and costs of program errors,
compliance with applicable laws, damage to or loss of programs or
equipment, and unavailability or interruption of operations.
We did understand the document are important and we will try our best to
provide some information that may help us open the document again.
First, let's directly contact MSN support for the Windows Live ID to see if
they can provide any fix.
Also, let's try:
1. If we protect a new document with the .net passport, will it work?
2. Please change your Windows Live ID password to test the issue.
Hope the steps would be helpful to narrow down the root cause.

For the general information I too am experiencing authentication
failure through files protected by IRM using the MSN Passport
services. Changing the password did not help with the document
protected before 18th November.
Creating a new document does, however, work and can be reopened.
The issue appears to be restricted to documents created with Passport
credentials prior to the 18th November.
Any references to other resources would be gratefully received!
In regard to "the a trial service and services description in the
agreement" you addressed, I do not believe that it is appropriate to
try to protect Microsoft with using this for particularly this issue.
/// Imagine ABC motors company gave 100 cars to 100 people as a
promotion for 100 days trial.
These new cars use a technology which is a two verification process to
turn on the engine.
Verfication process includes the use of a key and the driver's
fingerprint which needs to be verfied from the central server. And
this remote fingerprint verification method has been used in the
industry for a long time.
So, some people drove this car to the desert and some went to the
Amazon jungle.
Suddenly after 20 days, the keys for 100 cars don't work due to the
fingerprint verification process failing, so they can't drive the cars
any more.
They might die there because they can't escape from the desert and
jungle without the cars moving.//
It might be true that they shouldn't go to the desert and jungle with
100 days promotion trial cars.
However, what would you expect from ABC motors company for this
situation?
I believe the answer is simple. They have to do their best to try to
save people without trying to protect their position as the impact of
this failure is huge.
So, WHAT IS MICROSOFT DOING since NOV 18?
Thanks,
Steve
Thank you all for keeping the issue alive.. the more people like us
join on this better is the chance to get the result.
I understand you have contacted our premium support and the support
engineer once contact me to discuss the urgent issue. He is also busy to
finding a person could be help as we all focus on Excel application and
have little knowledge for IRM service and .net passport (windows live ID).
Thank you for your understanding and hope we can find a person soon to take
responsibility of the issue.

It is hard to believe that this issue hasn't been delivered to the
right person within Microsoft yet.
Who is supposed to have a responsibility in Microsoft organization
when IRM service fails?
Even small company who operates DRM/IRM service will know the answer
for this kind of question immediately.
Although hotmail and IRM services are free to public, this should be
the service that Microsoft provides/maintains as part of their
business activity.
So, wouldn't Microsoft need to take a Disater Recovery plan to handle
this issue? as one of the Microsoft's business function doesn't work
properly now?
Imagine, ABC bank's internet banking and ATM system doesn't work which
are usually free service to customer.
People hasn't been able to access their account through internet and
ATM machine for 8 days. What action should ABC bank take in this
situation?
High level action must be taken immediately and institutionally to
resolve this issue not only for customers but also for Microsoft
itself.
Please Microsoft, take this issue serioulsy and report this issue to
senior management who can initiate/take the right action for this
issue before customers contact them instead.
Thanks,
Steve
There will be a lot of people who have subscribed this IRM service
since Nov 18 and many of them wouldn't know that they are exposed to
this kind of high risk.

Pleas, please, PLEASE someone put this in the hands of the group that
supports this trial service.
I willl discontinue the use of this service as soon as I am able to unlock
the documents that I already have using it.
Here's the official response from the RMS dev team:
We have recently become aware of an issue with Microsoft Information Rights
Management Trial Service. Some users may not be able to open protected
content that use this service. Please note that Enterprise customers using
their own internal RMS 1.0 and AD RMS infrastructure are not affected by
this issue.
We have isolated the root cause of this issue. To resolve this, we need to
make a change to the Microsoft Information Rights Management Trial Service.
Please rest assured that your content will continue to be accessible after
this change is in place.
It is the RMS team's top priority to bring this issue to resolution. We
will need to devote additional development and test time to ensure a high
quality fix . We estimate that we can address the issue which requires the
development and testing of a fix within the next few weeks.
We sincerely apologize for the disruption this issue has caused and will
provide any updates ASAP.
I'll keep you informed of any updates as they occur, please let me know if
you have any questions or concerns.
All I have right now...

I understand you have contacted our premium support David, as far I know,
David have tried to contact IRM service support for you, you may also share
the information here from David.
In addition, please try the suggestions to narrow down the problem and also
directly contact MSN support.
1. If we protect a new document with the .net passport, will it work?
2. Please change your Windows Live ID password to test the issue.
We support Excel application here and we are not the right place for this
specific issue regarding IRM and I appreciate your understanding and
directly contact MSN support.
