So the only way you'll be able to do this is if you are creating new accounts from a template. Take a look at this post I wrote on how to disable ActiveSync on creation. OWA is basically the same thing just a different attribute. http://almostdailytech.com/2008/12/20/disabling-activesync-on-user-creation/Mark Morowczynski|MCT| MCSE 2003:Messaging, Security|MCITP:EMA 2K7,EDA Win 7,ES,SA,EA|MCTS:Windows Mobile Admin|Security+|http://almostdailytech.com

Go into active directory users and computers. Find the user, right click and select Exchange Tasks. Chose Configure Exchange Features and turn off web access there. Cheers!
