2003 to 2010 upgrade: Configuring OAB virtual directories
Moving to single server 2010 with all typical roles. So far only installed the CAS role (using the deployment assitant to walk me thru this). I just enabled Outlook Anywhere and now step says to use the following code to get the OAB virtual directories ready: Set-OABVirtualDirectory -Identity "CAS01\OAB" -ExternalUrl https://mail.servername.com/OAB -RequireSSL:$true (obviously changing out the URL real name) Here is my problem.. My legacy 2003 Exchange is on Server2. The new Exchange server is being installed on Server3. When I typed in that code into EMS it gave me an error saying Operation couldn't be performed because object "CAS\OAB" couldn't be found on "Server1" Server1 is my main DNS and DC... It looks like it is giving an error : FullyQualifiedErrorId: 1E890CF1 So, I have no idea where I am suppose to go from here... Any suggestions would be much appreciated...

Hi, Try this command instead: Set-OABVirtualDirectory OAB* -ExternalUrl https://mail.servername.com/OAB -BasicAuthentication $True -RequireSSL $TrueMartina Miskovic - http://www.nic2012.com/

Thank you. I tried your line and I did not get an error, but can you tell me how to check to see if it worked? Also, I am still not understanding, (hoping you might be able to help me understand) why the original commend (the one that Microsoft's deployment assistant told me to use) was giving me an error related to my DC when I was giving the command on the exchange server.

Hi, I just checked the deployment assistant and it says to type: Set-OABVirtualDirectory -Identity "CAS01\OAB (Default Web Site)" -ExternalUrl https://mail.contoso.com/OAB -RequireSSL:$true ..but with a single server I find it easier to type the command I wrote (less to type) :)Martina Miskovic - http://www.nic2012.com/

Ah.. ok, so when I saw the (Default Web Site) I had figured that was just meaning that they used the OAB by default, so to only use that unless I had changed it away from the default. I didnt think I was suppose to actually add that in there. Thanks.
