Programatically Adding Document Favorites to OWA

I’ve looked all over the web. I’ve only found 1 way to do this programmatically and it’s a hack at best. You would have to extend this guy’s script to enumerate through all the mailboxes and create the favorites object. Manipulation of these objects is not provided through a supported Exchange API.

The recommended way to do this is to publish detailed documentation for the users to follow.
