Progress Kemp have developed templates containing our recommended settings for Exchange 2010. These templates can be installed on the LoadMaster and can be used when creating each of the Virtual Services. Using a template automatically populates the settings in the Virtual Services. This is quicker and easier than manually configuring each Virtual Service. If needed, you can make changes to any of the Virtual Service settings after using the templates.

Download released templates from the following page: LoadMaster Templates.

For more information and steps on how to import and use templates, refer to the Virtual Services and Templates, Feature Description.

For steps on how to manually add and configure the Virtual Services, refer to the sections below.

The Exchange 2010 templates currently available are grouped in three downloadable files as follows:

Core Services

This set contains templates for MAPI/RPC, SMTP and both SSL offloaded and SSL pass-through HTTP/HTTPS services.

This is the primary set of services needed to balance Exchange 2010.

Extended Services

This set contains individual templates for both SSL offloaded and SSL pass-through versions of services for OWA, EAS, OA, ECP, EWS, and AS.

These services are only necessary if you want to break out each service type into its own Virtual Service.

Additional Services

This set contains templates for IMAP, POP and SMTP services, including variants for STARTTLS and SSL secured services.

Note: If you create another Virtual Service using the same template, ensure to change the Service Name to a unique name.

When using SNMP monitoring of ESP-enabled Virtual Services that were created using a template, ensure to monitor each SubVS directly rather than relying on the master service. This is because the Authentication Proxy sub-service will always be marked as up and, as a consequence, so will the master service.
