Hi,
I adminstrate an exchange server 2003 and would like to know the Active Directory property that shows if OWA is active. I have AD Explorer but I haven't been able to find it. I want this because my colleague is creating extranet profiles and wants to show owa link for those who have it active.
I already know this, but everytime we create a mailbox we disable OWA access, just by bandwidth reasons (Outlook client consumes less resources I believe) and because not every user has a mobility profile. So I guess it must be tricky but OWA enabled state property should be somewhere.
The AD attribute you want is called protocolSettings and the attribute is in a strange format
protocol1§setting1§protocol2§setting2...
where protocol can be replaced with HTTP, IMAP, POP3 etc and the setting can be 1=enabled, 2=disabled the strange character is delimiting the entries is ALT-0167. If the protocol isnt listed, then it is enabled.
HTTP§0 would be HTTP access is disabled., everything else enabled.
