OWA Manipulation
I am looking to manipulate OWA on Exchange 2007 so that users don't have to enter the /owa at the end of the URL. I want to have users just enter https://mail.<mycompany>.com and have it take them directly to the OWA sign-in page. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Open notepad and copy the following: Code Snippet <%If Request.ServerVariables("HTTPS") = "off" ThenResponse.Redirect "https://" & Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_HOST") & "/owa"End If%> Save the file as something like owa-redirect.asp in a folder called CustomErrors underneath the c:\inetpub\wwwroot directory. Then in IIS manager ensure that you require HTTPS on the Default Web Site, but not on the CustomErrors folder. For the Default Web Site, go the Custom Errors tab and change the 403;4 HTTP Error so that it uses a URL with the path /CustomErrors/owa-redirect.asp.

If from the inside, change add a DNS entry that directs ".../owa" to the name you want. From the outside, do the same thing by registering that address with your ISP DNS. Just tell your ISP to enter a record for https://mail.<mycompany>.com/ that points to https://mail.<mycompany>.com/OWA. -Allen Firouz
