OWA Instructions

Please use the following steps to easily access our new email server:

1.  Open your web browser, Internet Explorer or Firefox. Update - If you are using Microsoft Vista or Windows 7, please use Firefox.  Need Firefox? Click here.

2.  Once on the internet, navigate to our staff information page, https://exchangesvr.cars-services.org/exchange .

3.  In the upper right hand corner, click on the button labeled “Email”.

4.  This will bring up a secure prompt for your username, password, client option, and security option.  Note: Your username is your full email address.  You should already know your password, but if you are having trouble, please contact Todd Sarver at 765.569.2076 x264 and your password will be reset.  After your username and password, you may select what OWA client to run – premium should be your default choice.  Once you select your client, you will then select your security level as public or shared computer.

5.  With the successful entry of your user credentials, client, and password, you should now be logged on to Microsoft Outlook Web Access. OWA should look very familiar for most users, as the interface is similar to the standard Outlook program.

6.  From here, you may check, create, reply, and perform any and all necessary functions related to your email.  Update - A special note for XP Users – You may be required to run the MS Dynamic HTML Editing Control Add-On from Microsoft to enable you to create new or reply to emails.  You may also create your signature line, as required, at this point[1] (See the bottom of this page for the required portion.) 

7.  Once you are finished, please remember to close out of the program to prevent unauthorized use of your account.

We understand that there may be a learning curve for the new system, so please feel free to ask questions.  Todd Sarver and Ryan Gruenholz will be available to answer questions and help in any way.  Users who are also checking their email remotely using cell phones should call Todd Sarver (765.412.5474) for detailed, step-by-step, instructions for their respective device.
