NimbostratusOpen port range on Exchange Cas array object to enable Outlook Anywhere
Hi
Using Exchange 2010 SP3 and LTM 11.6.0
Outlook Anywhere is currently not working externally. The reason is it tries to proxy connections to the Excahnge CAS array object on port 6001-600...

NimbostratusStrange this, feels like OA should break every time implementing RPC/MAPI from Exchange iApp.
Since LTM rejects all unspecified ports natively, and Outlook Anywhere sends RPC traffic to the RPC/Mapi VIP on 6001-6004 port range.
OA will proxy traffic to DNS name specified in the Exchange RPCCLIENTACCESSSERVER property. And by recommendations the property points to the RPC/Mapi VIPs DNS name.
OA and RPC/MAPI have nothing to do with each other. OA uses HTTP, and RPC/MAPI uses RPC. For OA, you'll see traffic being sent to 443. For RPC/MAPI, you should see an initial request to 135, then requests to either the 2 static ports or a range of ephemeral ports, depending on how you have Exchange set up.
