Configuring Sharepoint Office Web Apps 2013

Question

Im working on setting up a Production environment for sharepoint 2013 i have dedicated one server for Office Web Apps. I succeeded installing office web apps with a powershell script.. But now I want to configure Office web apps through powershell... note - Sharepoint is not installed in this server

Is this possible ?? and HOW?

Answer 1

If your Office Web APps installation is already done, you "just" need to configure SHarePoint 2013 to use the Web App Farm. There is a pretty good article on Technet about this (as most of the times these days):

As you are in production you will need/want to run on HTTPS. The command is as simple as this:

New-SPWOPIBinding -ServerName <WacServerName>
#<WacServerName> is just the url without the schema for example; wac.mycompany.local and not https://wac.mycompany.local

Check out this document for additional configuration scenarios if you not already used it for your WAC setup:
