Appendix A: Installing the Local Archive Discovery Application on User’s Workstations
The Local Archive Discovery application is typically deployed using email communication. If a desktop policy prevents detaching files to the program directory, the Local Archive Discovery application can be deployed using a software deployment system. The below process will cover the standard steps for remotely installing the Local Archive Discovery application using a GPO (Group Policy Object). The customer’s process for deploying software using a GPO may be different.
Refer to the End User Workstation Requirements to verify all workstations meet the requirements for Local Archive Discovery application installation.

-
Right-click on the Archive Migrator for Notes MSI, point to Share with, and click on specific people.
