Hi,
I am managing Exchange 2007 server and user can use OWA from out side.
I would like to set up access restriction for OWA but the restriction should be time restriction. For example, user can use OWA from 9am to 6pm..

Is it possible to set up such a restriction?

Thank you.

You can do it if you have FBA enabled, and if you want the time restriction to affect all your users. Open the logon.aspx file in Notepad (make a backup first), and just before the line that says

<% if (!ReplaceCurrent) { %>

insert this

<%
int h = DateTime.Now.Hour;
if(h < 9 || h > 18)
{
Response.Write("Sorry, OWA is only available between 09:00 and 18:00");
Response.End();
}
%>

Note that the logon.aspx file may be replaced any time you install an update, so you will need to check it regularly.

All unsupported by MS, of course :-)

BTW, the condition h > 18 means that OWA will be available until 18:59. If you want it to stop at 18:00, then condition should be h > 17
