Are you kidding? That employee (assuming he didn't do anything
nasty with the guessed passwds) did you a big favor by exposing
the weak passwords before the really bad boys got them.

Wouldn’t a more effective solution be to:

1.Terminate the employee who “guessed” the pwds

2.Institute a password change for all OWA users immediately requiring a strong 
pwd

Seems to me that turning off OWA is a business-line decision in this case, not 
an IT decision

We had a security breach where an employee have guessed about 20 peoples 
passwords and ben able to access their e-mail with OWA. Since most people use 
company Laptops and / or Surfaces to access their e-mails while on the road 
using RPC / HTTP with Outlook we are thinking about disable OWA for all but  a 
few users, will that break anything else? Did some Googling and looks like it 
may be a problem in Exchange 2013 but we are still on 2007.
