Set Exchange 2010 and 2013 Internal and External Virtual Directory URLs in PowerShell

Here are the elevated PowerShell commands to run to set the virtual directory URLs

• Get-ActiveSyncVirtualDirectory -server EXCHANGE | Set-ActiveSyncVirtualDirectory -ExternalUrl 'https://mail.DOMAIN.ca/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync' -InternalUrl 'https://mail.DOMAIN.ca/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync'
• Get-AutodiscoverVirtualDirectory -server EXCHANGE | Set-AutodiscoverVirtualDirectory -ExternalUrl 'https://mail.DOMAIN.ca/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml' -InternalUrl 'https://mail.DOMAIN.ca/Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml'
• Get-ECPVirtualDirectory -server EXCHANGE | Set-ECPVirtualDirectory -ExternalUrl 'https://mail.DOMAIN.ca/ECP' -InternalUrl 'https://mail.DOMAIN.ca/ECP'
• Get-OabVirtualDirectory -server EXCHANGE | Set-OabVirtualDirectory -ExternalUrl 'https://mail.DOMAIN.ca/OAB' -InternalUrl 'https://mail.DOMAIN.ca/OAB'
• Get-WebServicesVirtualDirectory -server EXCHANGE | Set-WebServicesVirtualDirectory -ExternalUrl 'https://mail.DOMAIN.ca/EWS/Exchange.asmx' -InternalUrl 'https://mail.DOMAIN.ca/EWS/Exchange.asmx'

The elevated PowerShell commands to verify the settings:

• Get-ActiveSyncVirtualDirectory | fl internalurl,externalurl
• Get-AutoDiscoverVirtualDirectory | fl internalurl,externalurl
• Get-ECPVirtualDirectory | fl internalurl,externalurl
• Get-OabVirtualDirectory | fl internalurl,externalurl
• Get-WebServicesVirtualDirectory | fl internalurl,externalurl

Please note that we run a split DNS setup to have the external URL map to an internal IP address while folks are in the office (as per SBS STD).

UPDATE 2014-02-14: Dave Shackelford was kind enough to point out the errors in my copy & paste methodology. The proper syntax for each Set command has been done. :)
