Greg Taylor - EXCHANGE Thank you! Can i also check ExternalAuthenticationMethods : {Fba}, what does this do? Because it seems different then the other .
-ExternalAuthenticationMethods is using string base instead of -FormsAuthentication $true or $false and it accepts just only "Fba".
set-OwaVirtualDirectory "owa (Default Web Site)" -ExternalAuthenticationMethods fba

The individual settings enable (or disable) the respective authentication method on the vdir. ExternalAuthenticationMethods and InternalAuthenticationMethods determine allowed authentication methods when connecting internally or externally. Only methods can be selected which are enabled on the vdir. It's a multi-value, allowing you to specify more than one method (thus displayed differently in output)

mderooij That was the intent when the code was written - but it never worked like that. OWA/Exchange has no idea if the user is internal or external and so those values do nothing. I wouldn't suggest messing with them at all.
