Progress Kemp have developed templates containing our recommended settings for Exchange 2019. 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.

This guide outlines the steps for setting up Virtual Services using Progress Kemp Application Templates. The Exchange 2019 templates currently available are grouped in three downloadable files as follows:

  • Exchange2019Core
    • This file contains templates for non-SSL offloaded HTTPS, SSL offloaded HTTPS, and SMTP Virtual Services.
    • This is the primary set of services required to balance Exchange 2019.
  • Exchange2019ESP
    • This set contains individual templates for a HTTPS service with SSL offloading and an SMTP service, both with ESP enabled.
    • These services are only necessary if you want to use ESP functionality.
  • Exchange2019Additional
    • This set contains templates for IMAP, POP, and SMTP services, including variants for STARTTLS and SSL secured services.
  • Exchange2019WAF
    • This set contains templates for SSL offloaded HTTPS, SSL offloaded HTTPS with ESP enabled, and HTTPS re-encryption (both with and without ESP enabled) - all with WAF enabled.
    • These services are only required if you want to use WAF functionality.
      Note: The maximum number of WAF-enabled Virtual Services (or SubVSs) is the total (unused or available) RAM (in MB)/512 MB. For example: 8 GB/512 MB = 16 WAF-enabled Virtual Services. When the maximum is reached, no additional Virtual Services can be enabled with WAF.
      Note: For further details on WAF, refer to the WAF Feature Description.
    • WAF is only available with Enterprise Plus subscriptions.
