Use the Disable-OutlookAnywhere cmdlet to disable Outlook Anywhere on a computer running Exchange Server 2010 that has the Client Access server role installed.

Syntax

Disable-OutlookAnywhere -Identity <VirtualDirectoryIdParameter> [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-DomainController <Fqdn>] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]]
Disable-OutlookAnywhere [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-DomainController <Fqdn>] [-Server <ServerIdParameter>] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]]

Detailed Description

The Disable-OutlookAnywhere cmdlet disables Outlook Anywhere on the Exchange 2010 Client Access server. This prevents the server from accepting requests from Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2003 clients from the Internet by using Outlook Anywhere.

Note:
When you run this cmdlet, it can take as long as an hour for the settings to become effective, depending on how long it takes for Active Directory to replicate.

After the Client Access server is disabled for Outlook Anywhere, you may want to remove the RPC over HTTP proxy Windows networking component.

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although all parameters for this cmdlet are listed in this topic, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To see what permissions you need, see the "Outlook Anywhere configuration settings" entry in the Client Access Permissions topic.
