Hi Steve,

 

 

Is the problem with web access or fileshares? Have you been able to capture a tcpdump of a failure? It sounds like there might be some kind of look up being performed on the servers which times out. I've done a few Sharepoint implementations for customers and not seen this issue. We typically use standard VIPs with client SSL, HTTP, OneConnect with a mask of 255.255.255.255, and cookie insert persistence set to ~30min.

 

 

The deployment guide doesn't cover fileshare access. To allow it, you'd need to configure a VIP on port 445 with a TCP profile. This post might also have some related info for fileshare access delays (Click here).

 

 

I'm surprised that F5 Support wasn't able to help you resolve this issue. What was the result of the case?

 

 

For point 2, do you have a persistence profile added to the VIP? Can you try source address to start with and then move to something more complicated if that fixes it?
