The default URL for EWS is usually in the format https://mail.domain.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx, however that may not work for every Exchange Server.

There are 2 methods to use to find the URL:

1. Use a PowerShell command on the Microsoft Exchange Server

  • Open the Exchange Management Shell on the Exchange server
  • Type Get-WebServicesVirtualDirectory |Select name, *url* | fl
  • The URL will be displayed


2. Use Microsoft Outlook (2007 and later) that connects to the same Exchange EWS Connector.

  • Hold the Ctrl key and right click on the Outlook Icon in the system tray
  • Select “Test E-mail Auto Configuration” from the menu
  • Type in an email address located on the desired Exchange server
  • Click Test
  • The URL is listed as 'Availability Service URL'
