Detailed Description
The Set-WebServicesVirtualDirectory cmdlet lets you modify an existing Exchange Web Services virtual directory on an Exchange 2007 Client Access server.
 Note: |
|---|
| If you have a load balanced set of Client Access servers, you do not have to specify the name of each server when you run the cmdlet. It is sufficient to use only the name of one of the servers in the networked load balanced servers. |
To run the Set-WebServicesVirtualDirectory cmdlet, the account you use must be delegated the following:
- Exchange Server Administrator role and local Administrators
group for the target server
For more information about permissions, delegating roles, and the rights that are required to administer Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, see Permission Considerations.
