Before deploying Archiving Server you must install Message Queuing (also known as MSMQ), with Active Directory Domain Services Integration enabled, on the server running Archiving Server and each Front End Server for which an Archiving Server will archive data.

Click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Server Manager.
Click Add Features.
Expand Message Queuing, expand Message Queuing Services, and verify that the Message Queuing Server and Directory Service Integration check boxes are selected.
Click Next, and then click Install.
When prompted to restart the computer, click OK to complete the installation.
