Convert a standard decryption policy to a rule-based decryption policy

The following task discusses how to convert a standard decryption policy to a rule-based decryption policy. After converting to a rule-based decryption policy, you cannot convert it back to a standard decryption policy. Also, you cannot convert any rule-based decryption policy to a standard decryption policy.

We provide this ability so you can use the additional customization available in a rule-based decryption policy. For more information, see About rule-based decryption policies.
