For those of you who hate dealing with those pesky
registry settings, there is a fairly new tool for administering OWA
properties. The tool is essentially a set of web-pages that you install
on a server that allows you to connect to front-end and backend servers
to manipulate the settings.
You have to watch the “Accepted Front-end Servers”
field as the OWA Admin tools are more restrictive than the registry
keys. Remember this field represents the syntax the User will use
when they connect and not the actual name of the server. Also, in
our environment, we had problems entering multiple entries of
fully-qualified names of the servers and had to instead place the
entries directly in the registry. None of the other settings on these
pages has given us any trouble.
So if you are looking to provide limited OWA
functionality for Internet use, partner connections or even internally,
you can do it in less than an hour and with no equipment purchases.
