This solution provides a detailed step-by-step guide to installing the Archive Manager Custom Form in Exchange 2010 environment
By default in an Exchange 2010 environment, the Organizational Forms Library does not exist.
The method to create an Organizational Forms Library has changed in Exchange 2010. You cannot create an Organizational Forms Library in Exchange 2010 by using the administrative tools as you could in earlier versions of Microsoft Exchange. To create an Organizational Forms Library in Exchange 2010, follow these steps.
1. Create a new public folder.
a. Click Start, point to All Programs, click Microsoft Exchange Server 2010, and then click Exchange Management Shell.
b. Run the following command at the Exchange Management Shell prompt:
New-PublicFolder -Name 'My Organizational Forms Library' -Path '\NON_IPM_SUBTREE\EFORMS REGISTRY'
Warning: If you use the Mfcmapi.exe utility incorrectly, serious problems may occur that may require that you reinstall Microsoft Exchange Server. Serious problems may also occur that require that you restore Microsoft Exchange Server. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems that result from using the Mfcmapi.exe utility incorrectly can be resolved. Use the Mfcmapi.exe utility at your own risk. Quest does not provide support for problems that arise from improper use of the Mfcpmapi.exe utility.
(a) Start the Microsoft Exchange Server MAPI Editor (Mfcmapi.exe) from the MFCMAPI folder. To obtain the MAPI Editor, visit the following Microsoft Web site: http://mfcmapi.codeplex.com/releases/view/53000
(b) Create a MAPI profile if it is necessary.
(c) On the Session menu, click Logon and Display Store Table.
(d) On the MDB menu, click Open Public Folder Store, and then click OK.
(e) Expand Public Root, expand NON_IPM_SUBTREE, and then expand EFORMS REGISTRY.
(f) Click the public folder that you created in step 1. For example, click My Organizational Forms Library.
(g) On the Property Pane menu, click on Modify “Extra” Properties
(h) Click Add, then type in the Property Tag textbox the value 0x6707001E
(i) In the Property Type textbox the value PT_STRING8 appears. In the Property Name box the PR_URL_NAME string appears along with some other characters
(j) Click OK twice
(k) Double click on the PR_URL_NAME property.
(l) Type in the Ansi String textbox the value /NOM_IPM_SUBTREE/EFORMS REGISTRY/[The Name Of Your Organizational Forms Library]
(m) Click OK
(n) Click the PR_URL_NAME property.
(o) On the Property Pane menu, click Modify Extra Properties.
(p) Click Add, and then click Select Property Tag.
(q) Click PR_EFORMS_LOCALE_ID in the list, and then click OK.
(r) Click OK two times. A red mark is displayed next to the newly created PR_EFORMS_LOCALE_ID property. (This property is shown in the top of the list after the 0xXXXXXXXX Property).
(s) Double-click PR_EFORMS_LOCALE_ID.
(t) In the Unsigned Decimal box, type the desired locale ID, and then click OK. For example, type 1033 for English, type 1040 for Italian, or type a different ID for a different locale. To determine the locale ID for other locales, visit the following Microsoft Web site:http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa579489.aspx
(u) Exit MAPI Editor.
3. Configure Client Permissions for the Organizational Forms Library folder:
You can use suitable cmdlets in the Exchange Management Shell to set permissions for the Organizational Forms Library folder.
To set up public folder client permissions for the user will be used to install customer form for Archive Manager, use the following cmdlets: Add-PublicFolderClientPermission.
For Example:
[PS] C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>Add-PublicFolderClientPermission
cmdlet Add-PublicFolderClientPermission at command pipeline position 1
Supply values for the following parameters:
AccessRights[0]: Owner
AccessRights[1]:
Identity: \NON_IPM_SUBTREE\EFORMS REGISTRY\My Organizational Forms Library
User: Domain\UserName
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 times to replicate based on the Exchange environment.
From Microsoft Outlook 2007 and 2003 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 right-hand side of the dialog box, click the Set button.
7. Click Forms Library and select the name of your forms library. Click OK.
8. Click the Install button.
9. Change the Files to type filter to Form Message (*.fdm).
10. 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)
11. Click OK.
