Fix for The WebReady Document Viewing service has been disabled by the administrator for your organization

I got Exchange wired up with Office Web Apps tonight for previewing supported documents right inside Webmail but had to fight a strange issue. Your mileage may vary but thought I’d share the fix that worked for me…

The WebReady Document Viewing service has been disabled by the administrator for your organization

Setup

Configure Web Apps URL

Set-OrganizationConfig -WACDiscoveryEndPoint https://owa.itgroove.ca/hosting/discovery

Enable Web Apps Rendering

Set-OwaVirtualDirectory “itgca1vm07owa (Default Web Site)” -WacViewingOnPrivateComputersEnabled $true

After the above, I was still getting:

The WebReady Document Viewing service has been disabled by the administrator for your organization

So… For me, I had to do the following:

  1. Follow this article: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj150495.aspx
  2. Then I went into the Exchange ECP and chose Permissions, Outlook Web App Policies
  3. I modified the Default Policy.  I unticked “Webready Document Viewing” from both public and private under “File Access” and clicked Save. I then went back in and chose them again (we want them ticked)
  4. I stopped and started IIS Admin Service and Web Publishing Service and it all started up fine for me.

Lucky Guess but did the trick 😉

After (sweet)
