F5 APM Microsoft Exchange 2016

Microsoft Exchange specific config options for integration with F5 APM

OWA 2010

Integrate Microsoft OWA and APM seems to be easy but the devil has to be found in the details.

Example: The customer want to give the options like the light version or public- or private-computer to the users like here in OWA 2010:

When you log in, OWA offers the following options:

  • This is a public or shared computer: Allows you to be logged in for 1 hour before you are automatically logged out.
  • This is a private computer: Allows you to be logged in for 24 hours you are automatically logged out.
  • Use the light version of Outlook Web App: Removes some of the features of OWA.

This settings are described here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/exchange/client-access-servers/set-owavirtualdirectory
