Hi Mike,

 

Thank you for all your help, here is what I did;

 

  1. Added in the 401 error code, my 5061 monitor came alive and started reporting as green.
  2. I changed my Lync Pool's DNS entry to point ot the HLB (right now it is pointed to the 1 front-end server) and with the HLB traffic will be served across 2 front-end servers.
  3. Started doing IMs and this started working.

I modifed my pool and SIP dns to point to the F5 and then started shutting down servers on one to ensure it reconnected to the other and this worked.

 

I did have to do a flush DNS on some boxes to clear out what they had in cache (not sure if I will have to do this in our Production environemnt).

 

Any thoughts?
