I found a new site that tests your server’s Exchange functionality. A great online diagnostic tool.

Accessing Folder Shares in OWA
Here’s a cool little gem I just found in Exchange 2007 in SBS2008.
You can access the server (or other servers) shared folders from OWA by enabling Remote File Servers in Exchange 2007.
1. Open up Exchange Management Console, Client Access, and Properties for Outlook Web Access.
2. In the Remote File Servers tab, Click on Allow, and add the file server name.
That’s it!
In Outlook Web Access, click on the Documents tab. Click on Open Location, then type in the file share location in the form of \\servername\sharename.
*** UPDATE August 2010. Unfortunately, Microsoft disables this feature in Exchange 2007 SP3, and also in Exchange 2010.
How to Make Terminal Servers in Application Sharing Mode Appear in Remote Web Workplace
Here is a bit of a gem. Now we can turn off port 3389 and get users to use RWW from port 443 in SBS2008 instead.
Thanks to the Technet guys!
Administrators will see all servers and workstations that are shown in the SBS Console’s Computer tab. However, standard users will only see workstations that they have been granted access to. This means that Terminal Servers in the domain will NOT be shown to standard users. To allow non-administrators to see Terminal Servers present in the network, follow these steps:
- Log on to SBS 2008 as an Administrator
- Open Registry Editor by typing “regedit” in the Start menu. In the Registry Editor, navigate to “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SmallBusinessServer“
- Create a sub-key “RemoteUserPortal” under the key “SmallBusinessServer“, if it does not already exist
- Under the “RemoteUserPortal” key, create a new a Multi-String Value with the name”TsServerNames” (without the quotes; note the capitalization)
- Edit the “TsServerNames” value, add your TS servers name into the value data (one server per line), and then click OK to save them
- After completing the steps above, the servers you added into the registry will show to all RWW users in their computer selection list.
Note: Once this change is completed, ALL users will be able to view the TS Server from RWW.
