Log into OWA 2007 with a Default Domain
Customers with Exchange in a single domain usually ask how to change OWA so users can log in using just a username instead of domain\username. This was problematic in Exchange 2003 because of the DS2MB background process, but simple to do in Exchange 2007.
- Open Exchange Management Console
- Expand Server Configuration
- Select Client Access and click the Outlook Web Access tab
- Select owa (Default Web Site) and click the Properties action
- Click the Authentication tab
- Under Use forms-based authentication, select User name only
- Click Browse and select the domain name
- Click OK
- Run IISRESET /NOFORCE to restart IIS and enforce the change
Or, even easier using PowerShell:
Set-OWAVirtualDirectory -Identity "owa (default web site)" -LogonFormat username -DefaultDomain companyabc.com
Then run IISRESET /NOFORCE to restart IIS and enforce the change.
Note that this will automatically change the logon page to display the new logon requirements.

Even "easier" to use PowerHell? You got to be kidding!
No Kidding, Tom!!! Give me the GUI every time!!! I try to stay far away from the "PowerHell"!!!!
Please! I've migrated our nearly 10,000 mailboxes to EX07 using Powershell almost exclusively. And thanks for this tip! Worked perfectly.
