but also files located in Windows SharePoint Services document libraries and/or on Windows file server shares. Figure 5.21 The Public Computer File Access Tab on the OWA Property Page When you have enabled the direct file access feature, click the Customize button. Here you can specify which types of files users can access without having to save them first.You can do this by clicking the Allow button under Always Allow (Figure 5.22) and then adding or removing file types from the list as necessary. Figure 5.22 Direct File Access Settings www.syngress.com 226 Chapter 5 • Managing the Client Access Server 429_HTC_EXC_05.qxd 2/8/07 2:59 PM Page 226 TIP For more comprehensive coverage of the configuration options of the Direct file access feature, you might want to read the following article of mine at the MSExchange.org site: http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/Drilldown- OWA-Direct-File-Access-Exchange-Server-2007-Part1.html. Under the Block list button, you can specify any file types your users should not be allowed to access via OWA.The Force Save list is used to specify file types your users must save to disk before they can be opened.The last option, called Unknown Files, is used to specify how unknown file types that haven’t been specified in the Allow list, Block list, or Force Save list should be handled. Here you can select between Force Save, Allow, and Block. NOTE The Allow list overrides the Block list and the Force Save list, so choose wisely when adding/removing file types from the Allow list. Let’s click OK in order to get back to the main Public Computer File Access tab.The next option here is called WebReady Document Viewing. When this option is enabled (the default setting), the file types specified can be viewed simply by using Internet Explorer (Exchange renders the specified file types into HTML), instead of opening the actual file type’s locally associated application, such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and so on.This is a great feature when using a public Internet kiosk, for example, which may not have the required application installed. Note that you can configure to mandate this feature, such that WebReady Document Viewing is forced, even when a converter is available. Lastly, we can specify whether our OWA users should be able to access files from internal Windows File Shares or Windows SharePoint Services. OWA 2007 has a document access feature built into the UI, making it possible for users to access documents on any of these types of servers. Coverage of this feature as seen from the client-side is outside the scope of this book. Instead, I suggest you read the following article of mine at MSExchange.org: http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/Drilldown-OWA-Direct-File- Access-Exchange-Server-2007-Part2.html. www.syngress.com Managing the Client Access Server • Chapter 5 227 429_HTC_EXC_05.qxd 2/8/07 2:59 PM Page 227 Let’s skip the next tab, the Private Computer File Access tab, since the configurable options are identical to the ones we just went through.The reason why there’s a private and public computer file access tab is because you have the option of further locking down access from a public computer, such as an Internet kiosk.These are directly related to the OWA forms–based logon options:“This is a public or shared computer” and “This is a pri- vate computer.” This brings us to the last Remote File Servers tab. As you can see in Figure 5.23, this tab is used to specify remote file server access. OWA accesses only internal Windows file share and Windows SharePoint Services document libraries. In addition, a file name can be speci- fied by using a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) that is internal, or that is included in the list of sites to be treated as internal. Figure 5.23 The Remote File Servers Tab on the OWA Property Page You can also specify how to access files from unknown remote file servers, not in the Block or Allow lists. Here, you can choose either Allow or Block. The very last configuration option to cover is related to which domain suffixes should be treated as internal Web sites.This is done by clicking the Configure button and then entering the domain suffix for sites whose FQDN names should be treated as internal. www.syngress.com 228 Chapter 5 • Managing the Client Access Server 429_HTC_EXC_05.qxd 2/8/07 2:59 PM Page 228 Outlook Web Access Client-Side Features The first thing you’ll notice when you log on to your mailbox using OWA 2007 is the new and improved logon page shown in Figure 5.24. Here you can specify whether you’re log- ging on from a public/shared computer or a private computer, as was also the case in OWA 2003.You should select public or shared computer if you’re logging on to your mailbox from an Internet kiosk or a shared computer at a customer site, and so on. If this is the case, also make sure you log off correctly, closing all browser windows when you have finished checking your e-mail. Figure 5.24 The New OWA 2007 Logon Page If you are logging on from one of your own private computers, you can safely select This is a private computer. Doing so will allow you a longer period of inactivity before the session expires, as well as grant you access to features that have been configured for private computer logons only. NOTE The OWA 2007 logon page will remember your “private” selection and the username you entered on trusted machines, meaning you only have to enter your password the next time you log on from a trusted machine. www.syngress.com Managing the Client Access Server • Chapter 5 229 429_HTC_EXC_05.qxd 2/8/07 2:59 PM Page 229 Finally, you have the option of checking Use Outlook Web Access Light. OWA Light is the solution for all browsers and operating systems other than IE6 or IE7 on a Windows platform. So if you’re a Firefox, Mac, or even a Linux user, this Web mail client is for you. Simply put, if you like to use off-brand browsers, something else other than IE6+, use OWA light. Although OWA 2007 Light should be considered a light version of the rich OWA 2007 Web mail client, I can assure you it’s better than most of the other Web mail clients on the market. Actually, it’s very impressive! NOTE Covering the OWA 2007 Light Web mail client is outside the scope of this book, but if you want to know more about the features in this version, I rec- ommend you check out the following post on the MS Exchange team blog: http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2006/09/13/428901.aspx. If this is your first time accessing your mailbox using OWA 2007, after you have entered your username (by default you need to use domain\username) and password, and clicked the Log On button, you’ll be presented with the screen shown in Figure 5.25. On this screen, you can check Use the blind and low vision experience if required, as well as choose the primary language for your OWA 2007 GUI. Lastly, you can change your time zone if desired. When ready, click OK.

As you can see in Figure 5.26, the OWA 2007 UI is totally different from OWA 2000 and 2003; it’s much crisper. Figure 5.26 The New OWA 2007 UI Going through all of the OWA 2007 features is outside the scope of this book, so instead I suggest you explore the OWA 2007 client for yourself. In the following, however, you will find some of my personal favorite features in OWA 2007.To be honest, some of these would have been quite hard to find, no matter how intensively you explored the OWA UI. Mailbox Limit Notification When you’re nearing the quota of your mailbox, you’ll get a notification. In addition, you’ll always be able to see your mailbox limit, as well as the current size of your mailbox, by simply holding the cursor over the mailbox in the top left corner, as shown in Figure 5.27. Open Other Mailbox A feature that was requested by many in OWA 2003 was the option of opening an addi- tional mailbox using OWA. Although OWA 2007 includes this feature, making it possible to enter the name of a user’s mailbox and then open it as shown in Figure 5.28, the mailbox will be opened in a separate browser window. Although many would like the option of being able to open an additional mailbox in the same OWA session, this is definitely a step in the right direction.

In order to do so, open the respective message and click the envelope icon to the left of the printer icon in the toolbar, shown in Figure 5.29. www.syngress.com 232 Chapter 5 • Managing the Client Access Server 429_HTC_EXC_05.qxd 2/8/07 2:59 PM Page 232 Figure 5.29 Message Header in OWA 2007 Creating Multiple Calendars With OWA 2007, you can now create multiple calendars in your mailbox. For example, you can create both a work and a private calendar, as shown in Figure 5.30. Figure 5.30 Multiple Calendars in OWA 2007 www.syngress.com Managing the Client Access Server • Chapter 5 233 429_HTC_EXC_05.qxd 2/8/07 2:59 PM Page 233 Meeting and Appointment Reminders Reminders are now integrated into OWA 2007 and are viewable by clicking the reminders drop-down box in the folder title area, as shown in Figure 5.31. Figure 5.31 Reminders in OWA 2007 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 configuring 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 5.32 The Change Password Option in OWA 2007 234 Chapter 5 • Managing the Client Access Server www.syngress.com 429_HTC_EXC_05.qxd 2/8/07 2:59 PM Page 234 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 file server or documents on a SharePoint Server. Figure 5.33 Direct Link Access In-depth coverage of this feature is outside the scope of this book, but you can instead refer to one of my previous articles on MSExchange.org: http://www.msexchange.org/tuto- rials/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 mes- sages 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 signa- ture shown in Figure 5.34 is my signature at work. www.syngress.com Managing the Client Access Server • Chapter 5 235 429_HTC_EXC_05.qxd 2/8/07 2:59 PM Page 235 [...]... as shown in Figure 5. 49 Figure 5. 49 Enabling/Disabling Exchange ActiveSync on a Per User Basis 5 Select Exchange ActiveSync, and then click the Properties button 6 Check Apply an Exchange ActiveSync mailbox policy, and then click Browse, as shown in Figure 5. 50 www.syngress.com 251 429_HTC_EXC_ 05. qxd 252 2/8/07 2 :59 PM Page 252 Chapter 5 • Managing the Client Access Server Figure 5. 50 Assigning an Exchange. ..
