Configuring Virtual Directories Simplified.
You need to make sure three things.
- External URLs are configured correctly.
- Right Ports are opened in the firewall.
- Certificates been Assigned properly
Then Outlook WebApp , Active Sync and ECP should work without any issues.
1. External URLs are configured correctly.
Open EAC (Exchange Admin Center) –> Servers –> Virtual Directories
Choose the Server you want to Configure which will be a internet facing client access server.
Click on the Spanner sign
Enter the External Client access domain .
To Configure it manually . – Powershell commands are for all available virtual directories. If you multiple servers please specify them
$urlpath = “https://mail.careexchange.in”
get-webservicesvirtualdirectory | Set-webservicesvirtualdirectory -ExternalUrl “$urlpath/ews/exchange.asmx”
get-oabvirtualdirectory | Set-oabvirtualdirectory –ExternalUrl “$urlpath/oab”
get-owavirtualdirectory |Set-owavirtualdirectory –ExternalUrl “$urlpath/owa”
get-ecpvirtualdirectory | Set-ecpvirtualdirectory –ExternalUrl “$urlpath/ecp”
get-ActiveSyncVirtualDirectory | Set-ActiveSyncVirtualDirectory -ExternalUrl "$urlpath/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync"
To Check the Existing Internal/External Urls
get-ClientAccessServer | fl *url*
get-webservicesvirtualdirectory | fl *url*
get-oabvirtualdirectory | fl *url*
get-owavirtualdirectory | fl *url*
get-ecpvirtualdirectory | fl *url*
get-ActiveSyncVirtualDirectory | fl *url*
2. Right Ports are opened in the firewall.
Ports need to be opened in the firewall —
25 – SMTP
443 – HTTPS
80 – HTTP
110 – POP TCP (TLS)
995 – POP TCP (SSL)
143 – IMAP TCP (TLS)
993 – IMAP TCP (SSL)
