Installing Outlook Web Access on Small Business Server 4.5

ID: Q233204


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft BackOffice Server version 4.5


SUMMARY

Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA) gives you Web-based client access to e-mail, calendaring, public folders, and collaborative programs in Microsoft Exchange Server.

OWA is not installed with BackOffice Small Business Server (SBS) by default; you must manually install OWA after you install SBS on your computer.


MORE INFORMATION

OWA is a combination of Microsoft Active Server Page (ASP) technology on the server side, and Java Technologies controls and scripting that are downloaded to the client.

OWA requires that ASP technology be installed on the server. SBS 4.5 ships with Microsoft Internet Information Server 4.0, which has ASP built in.

To install OWA on a computer running SBS 4.5:

  1. Put the SBS 4.5 CD-ROM 3 into the CD-ROM drive on the server.


  2. Locate the ExchSrvr\Server\Setup\I386 folder.


  3. Run Setup.exe.


  4. Click Add/Remove.


  5. Click to select the Outlook Web Access check box, click Continue.


  6. Click OK, to stop the Internet information services.


  7. After the installation is finished, locate the ExchSrvr.Sp2\Server\Setup\I386 folder, run Update.exe (this reapplies Exchange Server Service Pack 2), and then click OK.


  8. Click OK, to stop the Internet information services.


  9. Click OK, to back up the existing Webdata folder.


  10. Click OK, when you receive an informational dialog box explaining that the Exchange Server services will be stopped.


  11. Click OK, when you receive an informational dialog box saying that the installation is successful.


NOTE: Before you install OWA, make sure you have a viable backup of your SBS computer and your Exchange Server information.
