Exchange 2010 – Set OWA Authentication

IT Problem

The standard layout when you login to outlook web access is Domainname\username then the password below. We can change this to a number of formats, UNC and a standard username login. This is fairly simple to set from the exchange management console.

1. First open then  Exchange management console.
2. Then go to server management.
3. Then select the client access server role under server configuration
4. In the right pane click on the outlook web access virtual directory, right click and select properties.
5. Then configure the authentication and default domain.
6. Select User name only, specifying the default domain
7. You will then need to run IISreset from command line for these changes to take effect.
