Hi, I want to change the default theme of the owa installed with esxhange 2007 sp1. I want to change it to zeus or xbox. But can anybody share the power shell command to do so. And pls tell me how to get the identity for the default website as when i run the power shell command i get the error message saying identity not found. Thanks.

The following command will set the default theme to themeName and disable the ability to change the themeSet-OwaVirtualDirectory "CAS\owa (Default Web Site)" -DefaultTheme themeName-ThemeSelectionEnabled:$FalseTo determine the theme:Get-OWAVirtualDirectory "CAS\owa (Default Web Site)" | Select DefaultTheme,ThemeSelectionEnabled

Hi, I tried to google for the same but I am not able to get the answer. Many article shows to create custom login page but none of them shows how to set the themes that are provided by exchange itself :-( Thanks.

Ok, I dug bit more to findout how to do this.... Name of the themes are defined in themeinfo.xml file but which contain extra characters, like TM and at the end of XBox and Zune so it doesn't work with Powershell. Another option is choose the folder name in which the theme designs (files) are saved. Like for Xbox theme stored into directory '2' and Zune stored into directory name '3'. So use below cmdlet to set default theme to Zune, where DefaultTheme paramater is 3 because theme is stored into folder name 3 and pass ThemeSelectionEnableed parameter value to false so it will force the theme to Zune for all users (if it is true then it doesn't show Zune theme by default for users who are logged in to OWA anytime before, but for new users it will take Zune default...) Set-OwaVirtualDirectory "owa (default web site)" -DefaultTheme 3 -ThemeSelectionEnabled $false IISReset /NoForce Hope this helps....
