Outlook Web App/Outlook Web Access redirection

If you want to use OWA using plain external.name (http://external.name) instead of https://external.name/owa, then some kind of redirection is needed. IIS redirection can sometimes bite you on other exchange services (ews, oab etc.), so I suggest you NOT to use IIS redirection shown in the picture:

Best way to do the redirection for Outlook Web App is using an html file with the following code:

<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=https://external.name/owa">

Usually the file can be named default.htm and placed in c:\inetpub\wwwroot on your exchange server.

A nice editor for editing html files is Notepad++ (http://notepad-plus-plus.org/). It shows colorful content for plain text files
