The change on the F5 appears to have fixed things for one site, but not the other. Both have identical riverbeds. We discovered though that the Riverbeds are not configured to optimize Exchange 2007 traffic so we are enabling that tonight to check if it works.

 

 

One other note, when we are looking at the Outlook connection status dialog we see disconnects for the Directory. This only started once F5 was put into production. The problem this has is that if someone opens the Address book, or anything that would look something up, occasionally it will error out saying it is not connected to Exchange. If you try again immediately it works.

 

 

We'll see if the changes to the Riverbed tonight help with that.
