DNS forwarder for HTTPS://mail.ourexchangeserver.com/owa POSSIBLE???
Currently to access our exchange 2013 servers OWA we need to input the following into a browser.
https://mail.ourexchangeserver.com/owa
Very long and as admins we are tired of reminding users it must be https and to add the /owa
IS there a CNAME record or some way at the domain registration to redirect a simple URL like
email.ourdomain.com to https://mail.ourexchangeserver.com/owa ??
https://mail.ourexchangeserver.com/owa

Personally I just put some HTML code in the root of the web site which redirects people to the HTTPS version and /owa. Does require that you are using the same host name internally and externally though.
Although blocking HTTP traffic is pretty effective - most users will bookmark it eventually.

Also you can use http redirection:

HTML code is completely version independent.

We solved this by calling Godaddy where the domain is registered. Simple sub domain forwarding
There's no way of doing this via a CNAME in DNS, but have a look at the following article :
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/975341/en-gb How to redirect requests from HTTP to HTTPS or to the OWA virtual directory in IIS 7
Also, you could use a group policy preference to deploy the shortcut to the clients, so they don't have to type the address and remove the opportunity for errors.
