1. Locate the Set.Asp file, and open it in Notepad.



2. Remove the following section from the file, and save the new Set.Asp file




if fEnablePasswordMenu then
   ' Get the Server name.  This is required for calling the password
   ' change form using https.
 
   thisServersName = Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME")
 
   ' Get the IIS Version Number.  Password changing is only supported
   ' in version 4 or greater.
 
     soft =  Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_SOFTWARE")
     posver = Instr(soft, "/")
     serverVersion = CInt(right(soft, len(soft)-posver))
end if 

3. Start the browser on the OWA server. The Change Password button no longer appears.
