PowerShell has become one of the most important skills in an Exchange administrator's armory. PowerShell has proved its mettle so widely that, if you're not already starting to learn PowerShell, then you're falling behind the industry. It isn't difficult to learn PowerShell at all. In fact, if you've ever run commands from a CMD prompt, then you'll be able to start using PowerShell straightaway. This book will walk you through the essentials of PowerShell in Microsoft Exchange Server and make sure you understand its nitty gritty effectively. You will first walk through the core concepts of PowerShell and their applications. This book discusses ways to automate tasks and activities that are performed by Exchange administrators and that otherwise take a lot of manual effort.

Managing External access of Exchange Admin Center


There will be times when you, as an Exchange administrator, may want to restrict the use of Exchange Admin Center (EAC) for External users for security reasons.

If you disable EAC access on Exchange 2013/2016 Client access servers, it will be disabled for all internal and external users. If you need access to EAC for internal use only, you have to deploy a separate Client Access Server role and configure it to handle internal requests only through the following cmdlet:

Set-ECPVirtualDirectory -Identity "Exchange01\ecp (default web site)" -AdminEnabled $True

The following command will turn off EAC access for all users on server Exchange01:

Set-ECPVirtualDirectory -Identity "Exchange01\ecp (default web site)" -AdminEnabled $False
