Managing the Client Access Server • Chapter 5 277 Change Password Option The change password option is now integrated directly in the OWA 2007 UI (Figure 5.32), meaning you no longer need to mess with confi guring this feature in IIS Manager. It simply just works. As in previous versions of Exchange, this feature can be found on the OWA options page. Figure 5.31 Reminders in OWA 2007 278 Chapter 5 • Managing the Client Access Server Direct Link Access Another new feature in OWA 2007 is the new direct link access feature (Figure 5.33), which allows OWA users to access documents located in a share on a fi le server or documents on a SharePoint Server. Figure 5.32 The Change Password Option in OWA 2007 Figure 5.33 Direct Link Access Managing the Client Access Server • Chapter 5 279 For more information on this feature, you can refer to the following article on MSExchange.org: http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/Drilldown-OWA-Direct-File-Access-Exchange-Server-2007- Part2.html. Compose Messages in HTML OWA 2007 now supports HTML as a message formatting tool, which means you’re no longer bound to those boring plain text messages. You can now create great looking messages from directly within OWA 2007. Junk E-Mail Lists You can now add senders to your Safe Senders, Blocked Senders, and Safe Recipients lists by right-clicking on the respective message and selecting Junk E-mail. These lists can be viewed via the OWA options page. Note that the Junk Mail feature is not turned on by default and must be enabled. Improved Signature Editor The signature editor in OWA 2007 is also light years better than the one included in OWA 2003. Now you can actually create great looking signatures just like in Outlook. The signature shown in Figure 5.34 is my signature at work. Figure 5.34 The Rich Signature Editor in OWA 2007 280 Chapter 5 • Managing the Client Access Server WebReady Document Viewing Feature (Open as Webpage) Another nice addition to OWA 2007 is the new WebReady Document Viewing feature, which lets you tell Exchange to render certain types of fi le types into HTML if you don’t have the right application installed locally. Exchange 2007 will ship with support for transcoding the following fi le types by default: DOC, DOT, RTF, WBK, WIZ, XLS, XLK, PPT, PPS, POT, PWS, and PDF. The transcoding engine has a pluggable architecture so the Exchange Product group can add support for new fi le types in future service packs if necessary. To use the WebReady Document Viewing feature, click the Open as Web Page link to the right of the respective attachment shown in Figure 5.35. This will render the document fi le into HTML, and after a few seconds you’ll be able to read it directly in the browser window, as shown in Figure 5.36. Now that is pretty impressive, right? Figure 5.35 WebReady Document Viewing Managing the Client Access Server • Chapter 5 281 Figure 5.36 An HTML Rendered Word Document Mark All as Read A small, and personally very useful feature not in OWA 2003, was the option to mark all items in a specifi c folder as read when using the Outlook client. With OWA 2007, this feature has fi nally made its way into the UI, as shown in Figure 5.37. .
