automatically use port 443
How can I get our OWA server to automatically apply the https and owa switch? I would like to have our end users only need to enter the standard URL and have all other done for them. I've seen what other have done, but I can't get it for our
staff.
Thanks, Jesse

Hi,
Configure IIS to automatically redirect HTTP requests as HTTPS requests as well as the owa directoryRegards from www.windowsadmin.info

TW's link should work for 07 as well. I have seen some cases where that doesnt work and requires a little more work. But I would try that first.
Side note, if you have ISA or TMG this tasks is really easy and doesnt require anything on Exchange server.

It didn't work for me. I set it up just as pictured. What else should I look at?

Here is the official technet article for Exchange 2007 OWA redirection. Go through it:

Thanks. This is the document that I used originally, but it did not work. Is there a troubleshooting guide? I have not been able to find anything using a search engine.
Thanks again.

Are you seeing an error message in your browser? If so, what is it? Also uncheck the "Show friendly HTTP errors" in the IE Advanced settings.Tim Harrington | MVP: Exchange | MCITP: EMA 2007/2010, MCITP: Server 2008, MCTS: OCS | Blog: http://HowDoUC.blogspot.com | Twitter: @twharrington

The only error I get is: Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage. I unchecked 'Show Friendly Errors. However, I no longer need to place owa behind the .com. If I use https or :443, I get to my login page.
