Outlook Form Publishing

[Brenden Kehren]

I have a form I have made for our company and have it published to my
personal forms library but would like to publish it to the rest of the
company and have not been successful. I have admin access but wondering
if there is something different I need to do in order to publish it or
is there another place I can publish the forms for everyone to access
it?

Hi,

I have a form I have made for our company and have it published to my
personal forms library but would like to publish it to the rest of the
company and have not been successful. I have admin access but
wondering if there is something different I need to do in order to
publish it or is there another place I can publish the forms for
everyone to access it?

You need owner rights in the global forms library:

Exchange System Manager -> Folders -> View system folders -> open
EFORMSREGISTRY -> If you do not already have a forms library, create one.
Add your mailbox to the client permissions list with owner rights. If you
have a distributed Exchange environment those changes may take a while to
reach all servers.

In Outlook in the forms manager choose the global library. If publishing
fails you likely still do not have owner rights.

If your form is not found in any local folder the global forms library is
asked, so everybody should see the newly published form.

"Global" isn't the right term. I think it is called "Organization Forms
Library". You want to use that term when talking with the Exchange
Administrator, assuming it is not you. Said admin will know exactly what
to do to allow you to publish. Said admin may just not allow you to
publish, saying it is against company policy. At which point, your manager
must have a heart to heart talk with the IT manager, to get it to happen.
