RE: How to detect Outlook (RPC over HTTP / OWA) sessions ?



Hello Xavier,

Thank you for posting in the SBS newsgroup. I'm glad to working with you
again.

My sincerest apologies for the delay in responding, please note the partner
managed newsgroups are staffed weekdays by Microsoft Support professionals.
Our goal is to provide a one business day response to all posts.

For time critical issues (not business down), we encourage you to contact

To continue working with me in the newsgroups, please see the following:

According to your description, I understand that you would like to detect
the current Outlook (RPC over HTTP / OWA) sessions, when you try to restart
the SBS Server remotely at night. If I have misunderstood the problem,
please don¡¯t hesitate to let me know.

Based on my knowledge, we can try the following steps to monitor the
current Outlook (RPC over HTTP / OWA) sessions:

1. In Exchange System Manager, expand Administrative Groups, expand
Servers, expand Exchange Server Name.

2. Expand the First Storage Group, expand Mailbox Store or Public Folder
Store.

3. Click Logons container. Here you can see who access mailbox by which
kind of way at what time. Let me explain it further as below.

First of all, you can ignore these system mailboxes: System Attendant,
SystemMailbox {ID} and SMTP (ID) in this page.

Then you can double check the Client Version column, you may see the
following categories:

1. HTTP: OWA session
2. Client Version like 11.0.6352.0: Outlook MAPI session (RPC or RPC over
HTTP)

I appreciate your time and cooperation. If anything is unclear, please feel
free to let me know. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Nathan Liu (MSFT)
