To export a trusted publishing domain

To securely store the cluster key password in a variable, at the Windows PowerShell command prompt, type:

$password = Read-Host -AsSecureString -Prompt “Password:”
Type the cluster key password, and then press the ENTER key.
At the Windows PowerShell command prompt, type:

Export-RmsTPD -Path <drive>:\TrustPolicy\TrustedPublishingDomain -SavedFile <file_path> -Password $password [-V1Compatible]

where <drive> is the name of the Windows PowerShell drive, and <file_name> is the path of the file to receive the TPD being exported. If this trusted publishing domain file will be imported into versions of Windows Rights Management Services (RMS) running on Windows Server 2003, specify -V1Compatible.
