We have implemented this template and find that the default EWS Advanced Health monitor fails. Where can we seek assistance troubleshooting this monitor transaction? With simple monitoring EWS functions operate as expected.- Burrell, what happens if you run the curl command used by the monitor from the command line: curl-apd -g -s --ntlm -k -X POST -H 'Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8' -d "IdOnlyyouremail@domain.com" -u domain\user:password http:///EWS/Exchange.asmx | grep -i ""
- BurrellWe found that our conflict with the EWS Advanced Health monitor was due to NTLM version of our new AD Domain. We are using the simple monitors going forward.
JTrimbleWhen implementing this template I have found that using the advanced health monitor and 2 monitor mailboxes causes the node to stay active even when you put it into maintenance mode. The pool monitors are set to require 2 of the 3 monitors to be up but it appears that putting the server into maintenance mode does not affect the mailbox tests so both mailboxes report up and cause the node to remain in the pool.- JTrimble, Could you provide some more details on the advanced monitor setup? You are saying if you put the Exchange server into maint mode the two advanced monitor tests with two unique user accounts are staying up? Could you run the command listed above in Mikeshimkus's comment from the BIG-IP command line and see the result? Also to check the result when the server is in maint mode would be helpful to see if that curl command produces a different result as expected.

Hi - a few of us have been trying to find the Exchange 2016 iApp template - where is is exactly...? We cannot find it in downloads.f5.com or devcentral or google etc- Hi B.Earp. As stated in the introduction above, the 2016 Template is in the RELEASE_CANDIDATES directory of the zip file on downloads.f5.com. Once you download the zip file, you'll see the RELEASE_CANDIDATES directory inside. Extract the 2016 template from there.
- JTrimbleWhen I run the code by mikeshimkus I get nothing returned. No error message, but nothing.

Hi JTrimble, Maybe you should add a -I (i uppercase) in the curl command to see response headers- Yann is correct, I forgot to add a flag to display the response. You could also use "-vv" in the curl-apd command.
