When unchecked, the archived email cannot be downloaded or viewed.
b.On Reply - When checked, the content of the email is included in the reply to the sender of the original email. When unchecked, the shortcut to the archived email is included in the reply message and can be accessed only by members of the Exchange server.
c.On Reply to All - When checked, the content of the email is included in the reply to recipients of the original email. When unchecked, the shortcut to the archived email is included in the reply message and can be accessed only by members of the Exchange server.
d.On Forward - When checked, the content of the email is forwarded to the new recipient(s) of the original email. When unchecked, the shortcut to the archived email is forwarded to the new recipient and can be accessed only by members of the Exchange server.
6.Click Next. The Outlook Forms Setup - Retrieve servers identification window opens.
Specify the information as described below:
a.Location ID - Each Archive Manager for Exchange server is bound to a single location identified by the Location Id.
b.Primary Retrieve Server - If the deployment topology has just one standalone Archive Manager for Exchange server then enter the NetBIOS name of the standalone server. If the deployment topology has a dedicated Archive Manager for Exchange server with the Retrieve role, then specify the NetBIOS name of the Retrieve server (eg. AMXSERVER-R).
c.Secondary Retrieve Server - For a standalone deployment topology, enter the same NetBIOS name or IP address of the standalone Archive server. If the deployment topology has a dedicated Archive Manager for Exchange server with the Archive role then specify the NetBIOS name of the Archive server.

Secondary Retrieve Server |
Standalone Archive server |
NetBIOS name or IP address of the Archive server (eg. AMXSERVER) |
NetBIOS name or IP address of the Archive server (eg. AMXSERVER) |
