Managing Client Access in
Exchange Server 2007
After you install the Client Access server role on a computer that is running Exchange 2007, you can configure and manage the various components of the Client Access server role. The Client Access server role includes the following components:
- Outlook Web Access By default,
Outlook Web Access is installed and enabled in an
Exchange 2007 organization that has the Client Access server
role installed. There are four Outlook Web Access virtual
directories that are created in the Internet Information Services
(IIS) Web site on the local Exchange 2007 server that let you
manage Outlook Web Access. For more information about how
to manage Outlook Web Access, see Managing Outlook Web
Access and Managing Outlook Web
Access Virtual Directories in Exchange 2007.

Exchange ActiveSync enables a user to synchronize a mobile
device to the user's Exchange mailbox. For more information about
how to manage Exchange ActiveSync, see Managing Exchange
ActiveSync.
- POP3 and IMAP4 By default, POP3 and
IMAP4 are installed but not enabled when you install the Client

the Exchange server. These include Outlook, Outlook Express,
and third-party clients such as Eudora. For more information about
