Step 1.
Startup "Exchange Management Console" (EMC).
Step 2.
Go to Server Configuration -> Client Access and select the tab Outlook Web Access.
Right click and select Properties and type in the Internal and External URL for OWA.
In my case I've used" https://webmail.domain.local/owa" as the InternalURL and https://webmail.domain.com/owa as the ExternalURL.
Also go to the tab Authentication and select "Use form-based authentication" and choose "User name only" and browse for the domain.
Step 3.
access the OWA internally from a client by starting Internet Explorer and type in: https://webmail.domain.local/owa.
Now you should see a form based authentication logon screen.
For being able to access OWA from external you will need to create an A record for the name webmail.domain.com and point it to a unique
public IP address and open for HTTPS (443) and forward it to the Exchange server.
