This topic explains how to use the Exchange Management Shell to remove an Exchange ActiveSync virtual directory in Microsoft Exchange Server 2007.

By default, when Exchange 2007 is installed, a new virtual directory is created in the default Web site in Internet Information Services (IIS). This virtual directory is named Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync. You can create additional Exchange ActiveSync virtual directories under Web sites other than the default Web site. All Exchange ActiveSync virtual directories that you create will have the name Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync. You can remove the default Exchange ActiveSync virtual directory or any additional Exchange ActiveSync virtual directories that you create.

Note

You can also use this procedure to remove an Exchange ActiveSync virtual directory if the virtual directory settings have become corrupted.
