ServiceConnectionPoint object

The ServiceConnectionPoint object can be used to manage a service connection point (SCP). You must register the SCP URL in Active Directory so that clients can discover the root certification server and use the services running on the server. Clients will not be able to discover RMS to request use licenses, publishing licenses, or rights account certificates without a valid SCP. You can use this object to register or reset the SCP URL. You must, however, be logged on with a valid domain user account that has sufficient privileges to create a container object in the Services container. By default, this object uses the current user logon account information. You can retrieve the object by calling the ServiceConnectionPoint property on the Enterprise object.
