$

Because there is minimal configuration overhead (from an Office Web Apps perspective) and zero data loss, there is little risk to rebuilding a farm.  These steps can be a legitimate part of an action plan for resolving technical issues with Office Web Apps. 

1. Take farm offline (if there is a load balancer)

2. Powershell:  Get-OfficeWebAppsFarm > c:\MyWACfarm.txt

3. (If multi-server farm) Remove each child machine from the farm using Remove-OfficeWebAppsMachinethen on the parent machine run the previous command.  This will delete the farm.


4. Reboot the Office Web Apps server(s).

5. New-OfficeWebAppsFarm using (if appropriate) parameter values from "MyWACfarm.txt".  Below is an example and screenshot (you will want to refer to the settings from your "MyWACFarm.txt"):

New-OfficeWebAppsFarm -InternalURL "http://<WacServer>" -AllowHttp -EditingEnabled -OpenFromURLEnabled


6. Reunite the children with their parent!  Run this from each child server: 

New-OfficeWebAppsMachine -machinetojoin <ParentServer>

Note: <ParentServer> is not present in above screenshot.

7. Bring farm back online.

Note: You may want to rebuild the bindings (On SharePoint Server > Powershell):

Remove-SPWOPIBinding –All:$true
New-SPWOPIBinding –ServerName “Server.corp.Contoso.com” -AllowHttp
