One of the main benefits of using the new ADMX files is the central store. The central store is a folder structure created in the Sysvol directory on the domain controllers in each domain in your organization. You will need to create the central store only once on a single domain controller for each domain in your organization. The File Replication service then replicates the central store to all domain controllers. It is recommended that you create the central store on the primary domain controller because the Group Policy Management Console and Group Policy Object Editor connect to the primary domain controller by default.
The central store consists of a root-level folder containing all language-neutral ADMX files and subfolders containing the language-specific ADMX resource files.
To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Domain Administrators group in Active Directory.
Steps to create the central store
1.Create the root folder for the central store %systemroot%\sysvol\domain\policies\PolicyDefinitions on your domain controller.
2.Copy the Archive Manager Outlook Add-in.admx into %systemroot%\sysvol\domain\policies\PolicyDefinitions folder.
3.Create a subfolder under %systemroot%\sysvol\domain\policies\PolicyDefinitions for each language that your Group Policy administrators will use. Each subfolder is named after the appropriate ISO-style Language/Culture Name. For a list of ISO-style Language/Culture Names, see Locale Identifiers. For example, to create a subfolder for U.S. English, create the subfolder: %systemroot%\sysvol\domain\policies\PolicyDefinitions\EN-US.
4.Copy the Archive Manager Outlook Add-in.adml into %systemroot%\sysvol\domain\policies\PolicyDefinitions\EN-US sub-folder.
1.Start the Group Policy Management.
2.In the console tree, expand your Group Policy Objects
3.Expand context menu on newly created policy (described in Create a Group Policy Object), and click on edit.
4.Under User Configuration, expand Administrative Templates. The Group Policy Object Editor automatically reads all ADMX files stored in the central store. The Add-in policy must be listed on the right pane of the administrative template
5.To change that policy setting from its current state, double-click the name of the policy setting.
6.In the policy setting dialog box, click Enabled, which means: The registry reflects that the policy setting is selected.
7.Fill the Archive Manager archive, retrieve server names into this policy and apply these changes.

·Visual Studio Tools for Office can write all errors that occur during startup to a log file or display each error in a message box. By default, these options are turned off for application-level projects. You can turn the options on by Add-ing and setting environment variables. To display each error in a message box, set the VSTO_SUPPRESSDISPLAYALERTS variable to 0 (zero). You can suppress the messages by setting the variable to 1 (one). To write the errors to a log file, set the VSTO_LOGALERTS variable to 1 (one). Visual Studio Tools for Office creates the log file in the folder that contains the application manifest. The default name is <Manifestname>.manifest.log. To stop logging errors, set the variable to 0 (zero).
