Configure Segmentation in Outlook Web App
Applies to: Exchange Server 2010
Segmentation lets you enable and disable many features in Outlook Web App. You can manage segmentation using the EMC or the Shell.
By default, segmentation changes take effect after 60 minutes of inactivity for users who are signed in to Outlook Web App, or when a user signs in to Outlook Web App. To force the changes to take effect immediately, restart Internet Information Services (IIS) by running the command iisreset/noforce on the Client Access server.
