How to manually install the Archive Manager Custom Form in Exchange 2013 environment. (4331280)

How to install the AM Custom Form 

To create an Organizational Forms Library in Exchange 2013, you will need to run the below commands from an Exchange Management Shell.

1.     Create the new public folder to contain the organizational forms library.

Note that the public folder is created under Non_IPM_Subtree, meaning that it is intended for system use and will not be listed alongside other public folders.

New-PublicFolder –Name "Organizational Forms Library" –Path "\Non_IPM_Subtree\Eforms Registry"

2.     Set the proper locale for the new public folder. In this instance, you set the locale to be U.S. English:

Set-PublicFolder -Identity "\Non_IPM_Subtree\Eforms Registry\Organizational Forms Library" –EformsLocaleID en-us

3.     Add access rights to the organizational forms library.

General users need to be able to read the forms held in the folder; those who maintain the forms need permission that is more elevated. I would suggest giving this access to the archivemgr_esm Service Account.This command assigns the Owner role to that user:

Add-PublicFolderClientPermission -Identity "\Non_IPM_Subtree\Eforms Registry" -User archivemgr_esm -AccessRights Owner

Now, use an account that belongs to the Exchange Administrators Group to log on to a client computer that is running Microsoft Office Outlook 2013 or a later version of Microsoft Outlook. You may not be able to see the My Organizational Forms Library right away in the MAPI Editor after you create it. This may take some times for replication.

Additional Information

You now have a folder in the Organization Forms Library to hold the forms and proper permission has been granted to the user to install Custom Archive Manager Forms using MS Outlook Client. This permission might take some time to replicate based on the Exchange environment.

From Microsoft Outlook do the following:

1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
2. Select the Other tab.
3. Click Advanced Options.
4. Click Custom Forms.
5. Click Manage Forms.
6. On the Organization Forms side of the dialog box, click the Set button.
7. Click the Install button.
8. Change the Files to type filter to Form Message (*.fdm).
9. Select the Archive Manager form. (The default location of the form on the Archive Manager server can be found in C:\Program Files\ArchiveManager\Tools\AfterMail.fdm too. Map this folder path if you are installing from different computer)
10. Click OK.
