Issue:
Instead of having to type http:\\machine_name\exchange to access the Outlook Web Access. I would like to set it up so that all ones has to do is type http:\\machine_name. Yes at some point after I get the directory issue worked out in IIS this I will alias the machine in DNS to something like owa or webmail.
Background:
I am going to a new company soon and I get a chnace to do things all over again, including fixing things that I wish I set up right the firs time around.
Already tried this suggestion:
Open the IIS management console, and right click on the Default Web site…
Click properties.
then home directory.
Then browse to the directory where Exchange is installed, and select the webdata directory as the home directory.
