SUMMARY
=======

This article explains how to use directory export and import to enable or
disable all of the mailboxes from using Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) when
HTTP is enabled for the site and server.

MORE INFORMATION
================

NOTE: The § symbol is the ALT+0167 ASCII character.

To use directory export and import to enable or disable all of the mailboxes from
using HTTP:

1. Perform a directory export, and then add the following heading (column) to
   the .csv file that you created:

   Protocol-Settings

2. Populate this column with one of the following settings to either turn on the
   HTTP protocol for the mailboxes or turn off the HTTP protocol for the
   mailboxes, as applicable:

    - HTTP on:

    - HTTP off:

3. Save the .csv file. Make sure that you do not change the format to an .xls
   file format.

4. Perform a directory import with the modified .csv file. Microsoft recommends
   that you remove all of the columns except the following columns from the .csv
   file before you import it:

    - Obj-Class

    - Alias Name

    - Directory Name

    - Home-Server

    - Obj-Container

    - Protocol-Settings

   When you click Directory Import on the Tools menu, make sure that you click
   Multivalued Properties Overwrite, instead of clicking Append, or the change
   to the .csv file is not made.

Each mailbox that is listed in the .csv file is modified according to the HTTP
setting that you added to the .csv file.

You can also use this method to enable or disable Internet Message Access
Protocol Version 4rev1 (IMAP4), Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP),
Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP), and Post Office Protocol version 3
(POP3).

The string is comprised of each protocol setting and the percent symbol (%)
separating the protocols, as applicable:

   HTTP§0§1§§§§§§%
   IMAP4§1§1§1§ISO-8859-1§0§1§0§0%
   LDAP§1§1§§§§§§%
   NNTP§1§1§3§§§§§%
   POP3§1§1§1§ISO-8859-1§0§§§

The number that follows the first § symbol disables or enables that protocol for
the mailbox, as follows:

 - 1=on

 - 0=off

The number that follows the second § symbol disables or enables that protocol for
the server.

For example, if you wanted to disable POP3 and leave all of the other protocols
enabled, use the following entry in your .csv file under the Protocol-Settings
heading:

   HTTP§1§1§§§§§§%IMAP4§1§1§1§ISO-8859-1§0§1§1§0%LDAP§1§1§§§§§§%NNTP§1§1§3§§§§§%POP3§0§1§1§ISO-8859-1§0§§§

NOTE: If you disable NNTP, HTTP, POP3, and IMAP4 on the server, support for these
protocols is also disabled for individual mailboxes or custom recipients. The
protocol may be displayed as enabled on the Protocol tab of the mailbox
properties even though the protocol is disabled on the server, but an error
message is displayed when the user tries to use this protocol.

For example, if you disable HTTP on the server, the HTTP protocol is displayed as
enabled on the user's mailbox. If this user attempts to open Outlook Web Access
(OWA), the following error message is displayed:

   HTTP access for this account has been disabled by an administrator.
