How to Launch Barracuda Message Archiver from Microsoft Outlook Web Access

You can customize Microsoft OWA to include the Barracuda icon in the navigation bar and launch the Barracuda Message Archiver directly from OWA. (Right click on the image icon to save it to your device.)

Use the following steps to add the Barracuda icon to the Microsoft OWA navigation bar:

1. Add the Barracuda icons to the following directory based on your Exchange Server version:

   • Exchange 2010 – C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\ClientAccess\Owa\forms\Customization

   • Exchange 2007 – C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\ClientAccess\Owa\forms\Customization

2. On your Exchange Server, browse to the Customizations folder where the icons are saved.

3. Locate and copy the file UIExtensions.xml.template, and rename the copied file UIExtensions.xml.

4. Open the UIExtensions.xml file in a text editor, and add the following content under the entry

   <MainNavigationBarEntry>, replacing the URL https://example.company.com:443 with your Barracuda Message Archiver URL including the protocol and port number:

   <MainNavigationBarExtensions> <MainNavigationBarEntry LargeIcon=”LargeCuda.gif” SmallIcon=”SmallCuda.gif” URL=”https://example.company.com:443”> <string language=”en-us” text=”Archived Mail”/> </MainNavigationBarEntry> </MainNavigationBarExtensions>
