I want to disable for users to change their password with owa 2013. I have on my default outlook web app policy, features and security change password unchecked. but I have still the possibility to change the password. How can I remove the link at options "change your password"

Hi,

Agree with the above suggestion, I have had a test on my lab:

After I set the property ChangePasswordEnabled to false, the option change your password disappears in OWA.

If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.

Thanks,

Angela

Thank you for the response,

The option "change password" does disappears from the menu, but at the options you have still al link: "change your password" how can I remove that link? for the default role assignment policy

We have exchange on premise.

Thanks

Hi,

After running the command, the option "change password" disappears from both the menu and all potions in my lab.

Please try to login OWA again after running the command.

Thanks,

Hello,

After running the command "set-owavirtualdirectory -identity <identity> -ChangePasswordEnabled  $false" the only "change password" disappears from the menu, not from the options menu "change your password"

Hi,

Lets refer to the last paragraph in the partition named Changing Password Settings of the following article:

http://blogs.technet.com/b/ilvancri/archive/2012/06/22/take-away-the-possibility-for-users-in-exchange-online-to-change-their-own-password.aspx

It is possible in an Exchange On Premises environment to disable the Change your password functionality from within OWA/ECP by using the cmdlet Set-OwaVirtualDirectory and its parameter ChangePasswordEnabled.

In my lab ,I run: set-owavirtualdirectory -identity domain.com/owa(default Web site) -ChangePasswordEnabled  $false

And here are the results:

If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.

Hi,
I did some tests and found that this only removes the change password option from the menu:
set-owavirtualdirectory -identity <identity> -ChangePasswordEnabled  $false

I then removed the option in the Default OwamailboxPolicy and that worked.

Note: The Default OWAMailboxPolicy does not apply to mailboxes by default as MobileDevicePolicy does, so you need to assign it and if you didn't do that, it explains why it didn't work for you.

Example:
Set-Casmailbox <identity> -OwaMailboxPolicy Default

Hello

Set-Casmailbox <identity> -OwaMailboxPolicy Default

How can I change it for all the mailboxes or is it 1 mailbox at a time?

To change the setting for all mailboxes:

Get-CasMailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | Set-Casmailbox -OwaMailboxPolicy Default

Hi,

I want to disable for users to change their password with owa 2013. We have the OwaMailboxPolicy Default configured. However, when I used the following power-shell script to set the policy, it didnt work

Get-Msoluser -All | set-owavirtualdirectory  -ChangePasswordEnabled  $false

I am getting the error: set-owavirtualdirectory : The term 'set-owavirtualdirectory' is not recognised as the name of a cmdlet, function,script file...

Would appreciate some help on this
