Description

The New-OfficeWebAppsFarm cmdlet creates a new Office Online Server farm on the local computer. You run this cmdlet on the first server in the Office Online Server farm and then add more servers to the farm by using the New-OfficeWebAppsMachine cmdlet.

Examples

------------------EXAMPLE 1---------------------

New-OfficeWebAppsFarm -ExternalUrl "https://office.contoso.com" -CertificateName "Office Server Cert" -EditingEnabled:$true

This example creates an Office Online Server farm on the local server that has editing enabled for Office in a browser. With this example, only a single URL is used for both internal and external users. The Certificate Name value is the Friendly Name of the certificate as it appears in the Computer's certificate store.
