With Exchange 2013 administration moving to browser based, you can manage your Exchange 2013 environment from anywhere in the world, provided that they are published. How can we switch off access from outside the corporate network?
You can manage your 2013 environment with EAC internally by navigating to https://casserver/ecp or https://loadbalancedurl/ecp if you have an NLB or load balancer in place. Your external webmail url (https://mail.domain.com) can be used to access the EAC (with /ecp) from outside the corporate network.
You may have a valid reason to turn off access to EAC from outside the internal network and the good thing is that it can be turned off, without affecting your OWA or OWA Options. By default, the EAC access from outside the network is enabled.
You can turn it off by setting the AdminEnabled parameter of the ECP virtual directory to false.
It will take few minutes for Exchange to pickup the change. You can always run an iisreset to force the change. If you try accessing the EAC from outside now, you will receive a 404- website not found error, but your OWA and Options will continue to work.

Hello Rajith
Can you confirm me that this cmdlet disables also EAC from inside ?
I have tested it, but from inside I have only the administrator mailbox options
Thanks
Regards

Hoe do you turn EAC internet access back on after having turned it off.
I tuned it off with the setting Set-ECPVirtualDirectory .. etc
But when I try to turn it back on, I get an error
In addition, I seem to no longer be able to bring up the EAC on the intra as well as the internet.
Error msg:
A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name ‘AdminEnabled’
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Set-EcpVirtualDirectory], ParameterBindingException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorID : NamedParameterNotFound,Set-EcpVirtualDirectory
+ PSComputerName : this has the FQDN name of my 2010 server and not my 2013 server
