Just a quick follow-up-

 

Although HHeredia's suggestion of building by yourself without an iApp has a lot of merit in terms of learning what's going on, given your "green" status with BIG-IP (and the complexity of Exchange), I'd actually suggest starting with the iApp to start with a known-good config. If you want to build a parallel set of virtual servers and pools manually, great! But please refer to the manual configuration tables in the Deployment Guide; there are a lot of subtleties (especially when deploying multiple Exchange services on the same FQDN/virtual server) that are easy to get into a state that cause one or more services to have problems. (The iApp accounts for all such known issues.)

Hi Dayne, I have been reading the DG. Just a few clarification to understand this better. My current config is for ActiveSync from a single source, and its load balanced with Least connection (member), and source affinity. The result is a single CAS with the highest connections, a few with generally the same level of connections, and one with no active connections. According to the DG, we will have to perform SSL bridging, but the LB method is the same. Least Connection (member). Would the outcome not be the same since the distribution is determined by the pool LB method, and not the persistence? Thanks.
