Applies to: Exchange Server 2013 Preview
Topic Last Modified: 2012-07-12
Use the Enable-OutlookAnywhere cmdlet to enable Outlook Anywhere on a computer running Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 Preview. Running the Enable-OutlookAnywhere cmdlet enables the server to accept requests from Microsoft Outlook by using Outlook Anywhere, also known as RPC over HTTP.
For information about the parameter sets in the Syntax section below, see Parameters.
Enable-OutlookAnywhere -SSLOffloading <$true | $false> [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-DefaultAuthenticationMethod <Basic | Digest | Ntlm | Fba | WindowsIntegrated | LiveIdFba | LiveIdBasic | WSSecurity | Certificate | NegoEx | OAuth | Adfs | Kerberos | Negotiate | LiveIdNegotiate | Misconfigured>] [-DomainController <Fqdn>] [-ExtendedProtectionFlags <MultiValuedProperty>] [-ExtendedProtectionSPNList <MultiValuedProperty>] [-ExtendedProtectionTokenChecking <None | Allow | Require>] [-ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod <Basic | Digest | Ntlm | Fba | WindowsIntegrated | LiveIdFba | LiveIdBasic | WSSecurity | Certificate | NegoEx | OAuth | Adfs | Kerberos | Negotiate | LiveIdNegotiate | Misconfigured>] [-ExternalHostname <Hostname>] [-IISAuthenticationMethods <MultiValuedProperty>] [-InternalClientAuthenticationMethod <Basic | Digest | Ntlm | Fba | WindowsIntegrated | LiveIdFba | LiveIdBasic | WSSecurity | Certificate | NegoEx | OAuth | Adfs | Kerberos | Negotiate | LiveIdNegotiate | Misconfigured>] [-InternalHostname <Hostname>] [-Role <FrontEnd | BackEnd>] [-Server <ServerIdParameter>] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]] [-XropUrl <Uri>]
This example enables the server Server01 for Outlook Anywhere. The external host name is set to mail.contoso.com, NTLM authentication is used for external client authentication, and SSL offloading is set to $true.
Enable-OutlookAnywhere -Server:Server01 -ExternalHostname:mail.contoso.com -ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod:Ntlm -SSLOffloading:$true
This example enables Outlook Anywhere on the Exchange 2013 Preview server. The SSLOffloading parameter is set to $false, the ExternalHostname parameter is specified as mail.contoso.com, and the DefaultAuthenticationMethod parameter is set to NTLM.
Enable-OutlookAnywhere -DefaultAuthenticationMethod:Ntlm -ExternalHostname:mail.contoso.com -SSLOffloading:$false
This example enables the Exchange server for Outlook Anywhere. The SSLOffloading parameter is set to $false, the ExternalHostname parameter is set to mail.contoso.com, the IISAuthenticationMethods parameter is set to NTLM, and the InternalClientAuthenticationMethod parameter is set to Basic.
Enable-OutlookAnywhere -IISAuthenticationMethods NTLM -SSLOffloading:$false -InternalClientAuthenticationMethod:Basic -ExternalHostname:mail.contoso.com
The Enable-OutlookAnywhere cmdlet enables the Exchange 2013 Preview Client Access server for Outlook Anywhere. This lets the server accept requests from Outlook clients by using Outlook Anywhere.

The ExtendedProtectionFlags parameter is used to customize the options you use if you're using Extended Protection for Authentication. The possible values are:
|
||||
|
ExtendedProtectionSPNList |
Optional |
Microsoft.Exchange.Data.MultiValuedProperty |
The ExtendedProtectionSPNList parameter specifies a list of valid Service Principal Names (SPNs) if you're using Extended Protection for Authentication on the specified virtual directory. The possible values are:
|
||||
|
ExtendedProtectionTokenChecking |
Optional |
Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.SystemConfiguration.ExtendedProtectionTokenCheckingMode |
The ExtendedProtectionTokenChecking parameter defines how you want to use Extended Protection for Authentication on the specified Exchange virtual directory. Extended Protection for Authentication isn't enabled by default. The available settings are:
