How to recreate OAB virtual directory in Exchange 2010 + Server 2008 R2?

What are the steps for deleting and recreating the OAB virtual directory in Exchange 2010 with 2008 R2? Something has gone wrong with our OAB and after reading around i think the simplest solution would be to just recreate it rather than pick apart what's happened.

does anyone have a definitive guide for this? I'm getting pretty desperate with this

er thanks, happy to give you points but I should have mentioned that i found those :) i guess where i'm stuck is that i need some (definitive) examples.

On the recreation step I'm not clear what they mean by ServerIdParameter? is this the GUID?

also where it uses "<" and ">" do i need to include these?

you dont need to use the < >

Server ID parameter is servername

You dont need to specify all the options there.
You can create a new one by simply typing this.

New-OABVirtualDirectory -RequireSSL $true -ExternalURL "https://mail.domain.com/OAB"

Many thanks for your help sunny7, new virtual directory still hasnt fixed my OAB not downloading but ho-hum, another suspect eliminated, another question arises :(

in case this is of interest to anyone else here's what i typed in eventually:

New-OABVirtualDirectory -DomainController servername.domain.local -ExternalUrl https://webmail.domain.com/OAB -InternalUrl https://servername.domain.local/OAB -Path "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\ClientAccess\OAB" -PollInterval 480 -RequireSSL $True -Server servername -WebSiteName "Default Web Site"

best, Lenny
