By default, changes to these properties take effect after 30 minutes of user inactivity or the next time that the user logs on to Outlook Web Access. To force the changes to take effect immediately, restart Internet Information Services (IIS) by using the command iisreset/noforce.
Note:
When you add host names to the Block and Allow lists, you must enter a server name. Entering a Windows file share name will not work.
