How to Customize the Login for Outlook Web Access 2007

Exchange users can customize their login in Outlook Web Access.

When you are given an account on a Microsoft Exchange 2007 server through your company or organization, you have the ability to check your email in a web browser by using Outlook Web Access. You can also customize your login by changing your Exchange password over the web. Note that Exchange usernames are set by system administrators and cannot be changed in Outlook Web Access.

Instructions

1. Open any web browser and navigate to your Exchange server's web address. The web address is set by your server administrators, so contact them if you do not know it. Outlook Web Access is compatible with most modern web browsers, but it functions best with Internet Explorer 8.

2. Make sure the "Use Outlook Web Access Light" option is unchecked on the login page.

3. Enter your Exchange username and password in the appropriate fields and hit "Log On."

4. Click on the "Options" link in the upper-right-hand corner of the page.

5. Go to the "Change Password" tab on the left side of the window.

6. Enter your current Exchange password in the "Old Password" field.

7. Choose a new password and enter it twice in the remaining fields.

8. Hit the "Save" button to change your password. You will be redirected to the Outlook Web Access login page again, where you can log in using your new credentials.
