You can make the Outlook Add-in available to multiple users by assigning the Archive Manager Outlook Addin Setup.msi distribution to their computers with a Group Policy. If you assign the program to a computer, it is installed when the computer starts, and is available to all users who log on to the computer. When a user first runs the program, the installation is completed.
This part describes how to use Group Policy to automatically distribute the Archive Manager Outlook Addin Setup package to users. You can use Group Policy to distribute the setups by using the following methods:
·Assigning Archive Manager Outlook Addin Setup.msi
NOTE: Assigning Archive Manager Outlook Addin Setups to client computers is not supported. Archive Manager Outlook Addin Setup.msi installs only Add-in setup (Archive Manager Outlook Addin Setup.msi) without any prerequisites checking. The prerequisites must be checked and installed manually before the Add-in setup is launched. Missing prerequisite on the clients computer may interrupt the Archive Manager Outlook Addin Setup.msi distribution via GPO or Add-in functionality errors in Outlook. See the Troubleshooting section. |
To publish or assign an Archive Manager Outlook Addin Setup, you must create a distribution point on the publishing server:
·Log on to the server computer as an administrator.
·Create a shared network folder which will contain the Archive Manager Outlook Addin Setup.msi file that you want to distribute.
·Set permissions on the share to allow access to the distribution package (Everyone should have read access).
·Copy the Archive Manager Outlook Addin Setup to the distribution point.
