Disable Outlook Anywhere on a per user basis

[Stevehewitt]

All,

I'm planning on deploying Outlook Anywhere, and so far so good. However I only want to enable this for just a couple of select users. (For security reasons)

Anyone know how I can do this on a per user basis? (E.g. Via EMS disable everyone apart from just a couple of people from using Outlook Anywhere)

Cheers,



Steve.

Got the answer!

God bless PowerShell/EMS. Obsecure as hell, but got to admire the power behind it:

Seems as I'm new to Exchange 2007 moving from 5.5 can someone fill me in on how Outlook Anywhere would work. I have enabled it but, not quite sure of the external host name (basically made it the domain name. And what is the big difference Basic NTLM or SSL. I read that if I'm using SSL for OWA then use this for Outlook Anywhere.

As far as I am experienced with it, once you have it enabled you would connect via

https://<your-ip-or-webaddy-here>/owa

(this is the default), if you are using SSL you are just establishing a secure connection to the machine Basic and NTLM is a form of Windows integrated authentication that uses your credentials to authenticate to programs like Outlook when attempting to connect to Exchange.

Basic I know is sent as cleartext and the wiki for NTLM is right here

Thanks, did some reading on this and the way I understand it is that if you establish a internet connection from anywhere outlook will automatically find your server and download your mail, no VPN or OWA necessary. Now I just need to figure out how to pass this from the linux box to the internal exchange, any ideas
