Outlook anywhere on exchange 2013 loadbalanced looses its session after connecting for a few minute

Hi Sholls, can you tell me if you deployed Exchange using the iApp template, and which version of the template you used? Which version of BIG-IP are you using? Have you captured the client and server side traffic to determine what response is being sent by the BIG-IP and/or Exchange CAS?

thanks

Thanks Mikeshimkus,

Yes i used an iapp template of version 1.4, Big IP version 11.3, what can i use to capture the client and server side traffic to determine response sent by BIG IP or Exchange CAS ?

Thanks for the support

First, I recommend using the latest version of the iApp from downloads.f5.com. Currently, that's v1.5.0.

You can use tcpdump and ssldump on BIG-IP to look at the traffic:

Or you can use utilities like Fiddler and Wireshark on the client and server side, respectively.

You shouldn't need persistence since that's not required in Exchange 2013. The iApp should deploy OneConnect by default; is there a reason you don't want to use it?

Hi Mike,

I perceive Kaspersky is hindering Outlook anywhere traffic through F5 , here is a log from kaspersky can someone interpret this for me.

10.161.6.6 is my F5 self IP, EMTS-E13CAS01 is my cas server.

Event name Network attack detected Severity: Critical event Application: Kaspersky Endpoint Security 10 Maintenance Release 1 for Windows Version number: 10.2.1.23 Task name: Network Attack Blocker Computer: EMTS-E13CAS01 Group: Enterprise servers 8.0 10.150.140 to 10.161.7 Time: Wednesday, August 05, 2015 2:45:43 PM Virtual Server name:

I imagine that must be a false alarm from Kaspersky based on something our server-side TCP profile is doing. Is it possible to whitelist the self IP? I'll ask around a bit, but you also may want to check with your sales engineer.

Hi Mike,

outlook anywhere worked well after the deployment, but later after kaspersky was dropped on the cas servers, only one mail leaves the outbox, the next mail is stuck in the outbox and mails cannot come in or go out, but when ever you restart the outlook client mails will be received and sent for a second or two and stop.

please see the same experience here kaspersky is notorious for that behaviour.
