What is the control panel of Exchange 2010 OWA? in response to this question, this article describes in detail the corresponding analysis and solutions, hoping to help more partners who want to solve this problem to find a more simple and easy way.

When Microsoft founded Exchange Server 2007, it made necessary reforms to Outlook Web Access (OWA) to make it more like Outlook, and even moderately added some management functions. In Exchange 2010, Microsoft has made many improvements to OWA again, making use of the Exchange Control Panel (ECP) to greatly expand the management functions of Exchange.

Before going into more details of ECP, it is important to note that there are some other changes in Exchange 2010 OWA, starting with the name. Although OWA has represented Outlook Web Access for a long time, insiders at Microsoft's Redmond headquarters decided to rename OWA as Outlook WebApp. Generally speaking, users who are accustomed to OWA 2007 will not have too much obstacle when using OWA 2010. As you can see from figure A, OWA 2010 looks very similar to OWA 2010.

Figure A

This is what Outlook webapp looks like. The most obvious changes Microsoft has made to OWA are not shown in the image above. If you look closely, you will see that there is a "Option" link to the left of the search box, which does not exist in OWA 2007. OWA 2010 greatly expands the functionality of this link, which guides users to the Exchange control panel.

Figure B shows the screen when the "Option" link is clicked. As you can see, the whole interface has changed. By the way, if users need to return to their inbox, they can click "My Mail".

Figure B

Click "Options" and the following interface will appear. What needs to be noted in particular is the drop-down list in the upper left corner. This drop-down list is used to set the "Myself". There are three options: Myself, My Organization, and Another User.

Myself

The "Myself" area of ECP is the entrance for users to implement self-help functions. If you have the appropriate permissions, users can use ECP to update their contact information, as shown in the figure above. Users can also change passwords, activate Out of Office functions, and even modify inbox rules through this interface. Just like using OWA 2007, users can also manage some of the general settings of OWA.

My Organization

The "My Organization" option shows the power of ECP. Figure C illustrates how ECP enables users to manage mailboxes, groups, and even user and administrator roles through the OWA interface. It seems that there is no proper way for users to create mailboxes through ECP, but they can still view and edit multiple mailbox properties.

Users can manage mailboxes, groups, and even administrator and general user roles through ECP. If you look closely, you will find that in figure C, the tree on the left contains an "Reporting" option. Click this option and the screen for performing message tracking will pop up. This is a new feature of OWA/ECP. You can see the implementation of the report and message tracking in figure D.

Now, users can perform message tracking through OWA's ECP.

Another User

The Another User option is similar to the Myself option. This feature allows a user to perform some basic operations using other user accounts, just as they would with their own account through the "Myself" option.

As mentioned above, ECP makes it much easier to manage Exchange remotely. However, various administrative functions are only available to users with appropriate permissions.
