Hey Mat

If you are running your exchange roles on a cluster then the sever name\owa should be the cluster resource name.  You cant use the node name as the node may change.

 

The external name should have no mention of your internal servers. so if you company is called matt.com and the cluster name is called excluster then the string should read something like

 

set-owavirtualdirectory "<excluster\owa " -externalurl:https://matt.com/owa

 

The external address should be translated to the Exchange client access role on the cluster via your firewall / ISA server so there should be no mention of the internal server naming on the external address line.

Subject: [msmom] Exchange 2007 MP Configuration Question

Hello all…

In Exchange MP configuration, there is a task to enable OWA monitoring that I need some clarification.

The client has Exchange in a cluster. What should be the externalUrl value in the command line below, the cluster name, each node or the Internet URL?

 

set-owavirtualdirectory "<Server name>\owa (Default Web site)" -externalurl:https://<Fully Qualified Domain Name>/owa

 

 

Excerpt of the guide:

Enabling External Outlook Web Access Connectivity Monitoring

The rule is enabled by default. However, you must set an external URL on your Outlook Web Access virtual directory. To set an external URL, you must run the Set-OwaVirtualDirectory Exchange Management Shell command. The syntax of the command is:  set-owavirtualdirectory "<Server name>\owa (Default Web site)" -externalurl:"https://<Fully Qualified Domain Name>/owa"

For example, if the name of the server is Server01 and the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) is "domain.contoso.com", you would run the following command: set-owavirtualdirectory "Server01\owa (Default Web site)" -externalurl:https://Server01.Domain.contoso.com/owa.  

Note

The examples assume that SSL is enabled. If SSL is not enabled, use http:// instead of https://. 

 

Thanks!!

-Matt
