Where do you see this tab? I can't see it anywhere.

On the top right, next to the log out link in OWA.

We do have SharePoint, we just don't have it externally available so it's been requested to see if we can remove it.

Ah, I see. It appears when you have a value configured for 'Web Page' in ADUC. I assume that you want to keep that value in there?

yes, we do want to keep the AD web site because we do use it for internal people.

Okay, well I don't think there's any built-in way to do it, but it's possible if you modify the startpage.aspx file on the server. Look for the line that looks like this:

<% if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(MySiteUrl)) {%>

and change it to

<% if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty("")) {%>

Note that your changed file might end up being replaced by a standard one any time you run an Exchange service pack or update on the server.

This might be stupidity on my part. I am making the change on a test box and connecting to OWA over localhost. Is there any way it might redirect me to another CAS server in environment. The reason I ask is that I actually removed the whole mysiteurl statements from startpage.aspx, iisreset, and then tried and it was still there. I then removed the whole startpage.aspx and did the same thing, OWA still came up fine. What am I doing wrong.

Hm. That's a bit odd. As far as I know there's only one copy of this file, in C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\ClientAccess\Owa\forms\premium . Is that the one you changed? You should change the one on the CAS, and it shouldn't redirect you anywhere at all.

Yeah, I'm not understanding what's going on here either. We do have other CAS boxes but there shouldn't be any way for this server to get to them. I verified that there are no other copies of of startpage.aspx on the server. Is there some way to Exchange would dynamically generate a new page on the fly?

Not if you can't see it in Explorer. IIS might be compiling/caching it, but I'd have thought that your IISRESET would clear that. Perhaps you need to restart some exchange services, too? I note that I never see requests for startpage.aspx in my IIS logs, even though when I made the same change here, I did see the My Site link disappear.

After making the change I have been doing a IISRESET /Restart. Is there anything else that I need to do?

thanks,

The funny thing is - I didn't need to do anything like that. I just saw the change straight away, without restarting anything.

Thanks for the help leeder. I made the change to all the cas boxes at one time and it worked. I'm not sure if there is some proxying going on or what. It's working and my boss is happy so I'm happy.

thanks again.
