How to change OWA extension URL
Hi,Is it possible to change the default Outlook web access link (/exchange)?? I have an exchange server and OWA isenabled. So by default, users will go into our websitewww.abc.com/exchange to check their mail when overseas. So my question is,is it possible to change from www.abc.com/exchange to www.abc.com/checkmymail??

Hi, You can create a new virtual directory called checkmymail and set a redirection for it. 1. Start IIS Manager2. Right click on the " checkmymail " and choose "Properties".3. On the "virtual Directory" tab.4. Change the first option to "A redirection to a URL".5. Enter "/exchange" in to the box (minus quotes)6. Change the entry below to "A directory below URL entered".7. Click Apply/OK 8. Restart IIS. Hope this helps. Thanks, Elvis

Hi elvis,Thanks for the reply. I have done it but I can stillaccess directly into www.abc.com/exchange. How to refrain people from going directly to /exchange and only enter OWA via /checkmymail ??So my main point here is to completely change the URL as in www.abc.com/checkmymail while disallowing www.abc.com/exchange . How do I do it?

Hi, Please backup your IIS settings before the procedure. In IIS manager, right click owa virtual directoryall taskssave configuration to a file. Then create a new virtual directory (from a file)checkmail. Then delete owa directory and test the issue. Thanks, Elvis
