Which CAS server user connects

How to check which CAS server did user (outlook) hit among the group of CAS servers (Exchange 2013 CU3) behind F5 load balancer
SAH

Hi Shaik ,
In my environment also we are using the F5 load balancers ,If i wanted to check which user is connecting to which cas server then i need to contact the person who is handling the F5 device.
Like you i have also searched for the same query before six months.Finally what i found is given below.
Basically we can use the netstat commands to find out the client connectivity to the cas servers .If we run the commands on the cas server ,we will not be getting the client ip address on the netstat output instead we will be getting the ip address of the
F5 device.
But on the F5 device we can able to see which client is connecting to which cas server by using some commands.
Thanks & Regards S.Nithyanandham

    I would like to know which apple server dictation connects to so that my proxy server will stop blocking it. Which apple server does it connect too?

    I would presume so, but it might be worth your while to experiment and play around with different combinations to see if you can block FaceTime while keeping Game Center open.  Good luck!

  • How to determine which AD server User Profiles is pulling from?

    I have a User Profile set up, and can't recall specifying an AD server.
    I've been asked to run multiple UP incrementals during the day. The SharePoint and SQL server seem capable of handling it, but I forgot to check performance of the AD server(s) during the nighly incremental.
    How would I determine which AD server is being used, so I can test CPU and memory?
    Thanks,
    Scott

    Go to:
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\14.0\Synchronization Service\UIShell\miisclient.exe
    On the Operations tab, if you look at any of the operations, there is a Connection Status box in the middle right. This contains the DC that it has connected to.

  • CAS Server Returned in Autodiscovery Information

    Hi,
    I’m in the process of designing a new Exchange 2013 implementation for our business and I’m trying to get my head around something that I’m hoping someone here may be able to clarify for me.
    My design will consist of multiple AD sites with a single CAS and MBX (collocated) in each. In regards to autodiscovery process I understand that the autodiscovery site scope parameter will/should point Outlook to a local CAS to retrieve the autodiscover
    information. However the bit I don’t understand is what CAS server/s will be returned in the autodiscovery information (XML) that Outlook will then use to connect to. Will it be a local (site where Outlook client is located) CAS server?
    Please note the InternalURL for the CAS servers will be their FQDN, there is no plan to use high availability for the CAS servers.
    Thanks,
    Ben

    Hi Winnie,
    Thanks for your reply and your description on how Autodiscovery works.
    I understand how Outlook connects to the Autodiscovery service, though the piece of information that I was after was in relation to WHAT information is returned in the XML file to Outlook. I presume that the URLs for all CAS’s are returned regardless of
    what AD site they (CAS) are located at? If so then how does Outlook know which CAS server to connect to when it wants to talk to the mailbox server?
    Thanks,
    Ben
    Hi,
    Based on my knowledge, when the Autodiscover service connect to a CAS server successfully, an HTTPS response with an XML file would be returned. It includes the connection settings and URLs for the available Exchange services. Outlook uses the appropriate
    configuration information and connection settings to connect to your Exchange messaging environment.
    Generally, the Autodiscover service returns the following information to the client:
    1. The user’s display name
    2. Separate connection settings for internal and external connectivity
    3. The location of the user’s Mailbox server
    4. The URLs for various Outlook features that govern functionality such as free/busy information, Unified Messaging, and the offline address book
    5. Outlook Anywhere server settings
    For example, if the user in Site1 setup the Exchange account in Outlook. The Outlook would connect to CAS1 with Autodiscover service and retrieve all other services settings from CAS1 instead of CAS2 in Site2. When this user sends a service
    request, the autodiscover would return service URL from CAS1. CAS1 will proxy the request to the local Exchange 2013 Mailbox server.

  • How to find which SSRS server connects to my Report Server DB?

    I have a reporting services running on server A. I am using the report server db located on server B for SSRS located on Server A. How can I determine which SSRS server is connecting to the Report Server DB located on Server B??
    Is there any entry in any of the tables in Report Server DB?

    Hi Shanoof Bacheer,
    Per my understanding you want to get the list of the reporting services instances information which are using the same report Server DB, The different reporting services instance on different servers with the Report Server DB, right?
    If the Database is in a domain environment, we can try to get the list the all instances from all servers and then check which one is using the database.
    You can check if Connections to the ReportServer database are open and from which Hosts they are by using below query:
    SELECT hostname, *
    FROM sysprocesses
    WHERE dbid = DB_ID('ReportServer')

  • How outlook choose a CAS server

    Hi all,
      I would like to ask how outlook choose a CAS server? For example, if I have 2 sites to deploy exchange server, 1 in hk 1 in russia. How would outlook choose to connect to which CAS server for exchange 2010. For exchange 2013, should it be connected
    to the active mailbox database copy? Thanks
    Best Regards,
    Elroy

    Hi,
    Client Access Server for Outlook provides the Autodiscover service, Web services (Autodiscover, availability and OAB) and RPC over HTTPS.
    Outlook 2007 first searches for the SCP in AD which contains the URL to the Autodiscover service, if more than one SCP object is found in Active Directory which means there are mulitiple CAS servers in the Exchange organization. It will sort the list of
    available SCPs by Site Affinity that match the site the Outlook's mailbox is located in. One of two lists is created, an in-site list or an out-of-site list. The list is not sorted in any particular order which is approximately in the order of oldest SCP records
    (based on creation date) first. This is not related to the proximity. However, when retrieving the Web service (availability and OAB), It will decide which entry to return based on proximity and current availability. That means to contact Autodiscover maybe
    use CAS which integrated with mailbox, and must use the CAS when retrieving other services.
    Network Load Balancing is a supported method of doing this.
    If there are mulitple CAS servers, for Outlook Anywhere (not logged into the domain), to even out the work load across multiple CAS servers which could offer Autodiscover services
    Thanks & Regards

  • Outlook won't connect to CAS server in another site

    Hey guys, so heres my scenario, we were testing a primary site
    dag outage, and not for all the tea in China would outlook connect to the DR sites CAS server. When I look at outlook its still trying to connect to the
    cas server in my primary site, when I run the
    autodiscover test from the clients outlook, within the output, I see it fails on the primary and goes to DR CAS as it should, I even did a repair and that didn't work.
    i had to edit the host files on the client and point it directly
    to the DR server and then it connected, and by that
    i mean, it kept trying to connect to EX01 instead of DR01, so
    i edited the host file to make the client go to DR01 as EX01, which
    worked, so I'm not sure what's going on. All of this is internally btw.
    Current design:
    Exchange 2010 SP2 - 1DAG  (3 members) 
    "Primary site": 2 DC's, 2 DAG members, 2 Hub/CAS
    "DRSite"; 1DC (Alternatewitness), 1 DAG member running all roles
    Testing server blackout scenario at the primary site, was able to get mailboxes mounted on DR site, OWA works, able to receive mail, outlook only works if DNS is reworked.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions. 

    Hey guys, finally got around to testing this, it
    didn't work :(.
    i built a lab with same versions and it worked automatically, the clients just connected
    on their own.
    anythingelse
    I can check?
    SIDENOTE: Not sure if related... i remember once
    we had a problem where users could could not login to their mailbox using SITEA CAS servers when the databases were hosted in SITEB and in ADSIEDIT was made to allow this to happen, the change had us edit the CAS server's site so that instead of being in DRSITE
    it was to SITEA. (Hopefully that makes sense can't remember exactly where that change was made in ADSI).

  • Outlook tries to connect to a dumb CAS Server

    Hi team,
    I set up a lab environment with a Single Ex server(lets say EX1.domain.com) with both CAS/MBX collocated. No internet, just internal testing. Created mail.domain.com and autodiscover.domain.com and pointed out to EX1 server. All connections are smoothly
    going.
    Then I decided to add another two CAS servers (EX2, EX3) to the organization and did nothing more than installing, didn't configure array even.
    Now, I'm seeing that whenever I disconnect my NIC on EX2 and EX3, some of the clients(Outlook) disconnects and some keeps working. What I'm confused is even after NOT doing anything other than installing, why is my client connecting to the new CAS Server(s)?
    Thank you.
    Cheers!

    You have probably seen this:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124251(v=exchg.150).aspx
    Using the user credentials, the Outlook 2007, Outlook 2010, or Outlook 2013 client authenticates to Active Directory and searches for the Autodiscover SCP objects. After the client obtains and enumerates the instances of the Autodiscover service, the client
    connects to the first Client Access server in the enumerated list and obtains the profile information in the form of XML data that's needed to connect to the user's mailbox and available Exchange features.
    Now, for your specific question:
    And how does the client select which CAS to connect to in case of a multiple CAS Server entries in
    the Autodiscover info, is it a random selection or round-robin etc?
    in the instance of multiple CAS that arent in a load balanced array, the domain-joined client enumerates that list and attempts to connect to the oldest CAS ( I.e. the one installed first) and then tries each one in the list after that - usually.  :)

  • Exchange 2013 - Prevent Outlook Clients From Connecting To A CAS Server In A Different AD Site

    Hi all,
    I could really do with your help!
    We have 3 physical sites, A, B & C, with sites A & B having a really fast low latency links between them, so from an AD point of view they are 1 site.  Site C has links to both sites A & B, but the link is a lot slower.
    We have an exchange design with 3 servers (one located at each physical site) that will form a DAG spread over the 3 physical sites.  Ideally we will separate the CAS and mailbox server roles out and have them controlled by a hardware load balancer,
    however we can have both roles on the same server if required.
    What we want, is to prevent is a situation where an outlook client in site C connects to a CAS server in site A/B with the mail being hosted on a mailbox server in site C therefore traversing the network twice to get its mail.
    From doing the Microsoft training course, my understanding is that in Exchange 2013, the CAS server only proxy's the request on to the mailbox server and does not redirect the request to the CAS server in the site where the mailbox server resides.
    I have seen information online stating that a single namespace is the way to go as long as your site links/network bandwidth is good, but nothing to help with our scenario.
    Has anyone else come across this situation and how did you get round it?
    Thanks in advance :)

    Hi Johnson,
    Based on my knowledge, Outlook Client will connect to the CAS server which in local first.
    Please check whether the CAS server that in site C is healthy.
    If the CAS server in site C is healthy, please disable the CAS Load Balance for testing.

  • Exchange 2010 CAS server in NLB reboot forces some users to re-authenticate

    I have 4 Exchange servers.
    2 X CAS servers
    2 X Mailbox servers
    The mailbox servers are in a DAG. That works fine and replication happens between them quite happily.
    The 2 Cas servers are in a NLB and seem ok with that. However, if I reboot one of the CAS servers then some of my users get prompted for their credentials. If you try re-enter the credentials then it just keeps coming up asking for the password. If they close
    outlook and re-open then it seems to be fine. From what I can gather online this is because the Outlook session has authenticated against the CAS1 for instance. And if CAS1 goes offline, then NLB not being that intelligent swaps the connection over to CAS2.
    But CAS2 then see’s this as a new connection and so asks for the password again.
    Is this right or have I misconfigured something? If it is right then is there any way to get around it? Or is it just the way it is and on the odd occasions that we have to reboot in the middle of the day users will just have to close and re-open where necessary?

    Hi,
    Based on my research, services on the CAS are stopped when it is shut down or restarted. However, the network load balancer does not recognize that the services are offline. Thus, the client prompts the user for credentials.
    To prevent this issue, do not let the CAS accept new connections from the load balancer before the CAS is shut down or restarted. For example, issue a drainstop command to the server in Network Load Balancing Manager.

  • What server should I use to support 150 user connection

    We use Developer 2000 to develope our application, we want to use the Oracle Application Server to connect 150 external users through internet, can you tell me that is it fast enough if I use the following server for Application Server:
    -     Pentium III Xeon 1GHz with 133MHz GTL Bus
    -     256K level two ECC cache
    -     4GB ECC RAM
    -     2 x 36GB Harddisk
    -     Integrated Dual Wide-Ultra2 controller
    The user connects to our server will only run some simple input screen, no large job. Is there any standard figure for us to calculate the required RAM?

    My suggestion is to double check your actual requirements:
    - are they related mainly to a network issue, in such case your problem might find a solution with connection pooling / connection manager to run shared rather than dedicated connections on the database server ? Have a close look at this if you are running behind a firewall.
    - you mention app server, but you seem to refer to a database server. If this is the case, a big part of the answer will lie in tuning the performance of your database server, with a close look at memory caching (buffer and library cache) , Disk I/O . The initial choice of your database block size is equally important and will depend on the nature of your application (DSS or OLTP)...

  • Exchange 2013 CAS server connection to Exchange 2010 Mailbox server

    Hi Guys,
    I have a quick question i am planning to upgrade my infra from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013 and i have come across a small question, my infra looks likes below
    3 Exchange server (CAS+ HT + MBX roles) Exchange 2010
    1 Exchange server MBX role For journlaing Exchange 2010
    1 CAS for internet owa access Exchange 2010
    Now i will be  installing exchange 2013 CAS on 2 box and MBX on 3 box 
    will decomm the 3 exchange box which has (CAS+ HT + MBX roles) and 1 CAS which we use for owa access.
    will keep the Journaling server as it is will not be decomming it as of now.
    My question is is will i be able to connect to the journaling mailbox's which are hosted on exchange 2010 journaling server without actually having any 2010 cas server, will exchange 2013 cas directly help me to connect to the journal mailbox or would i need
    to add CAS role on Exchange 2010 journaling server and enable outlook anywhere configure the directories with the url's to make it working.
    Please suggest on the same.
    BR/Deepak

    Hi TheLearner,
    Thank you for your question.
    Exchange 2013 didn’t connect to the journal mailbox directly when we access it by outlook/OWA. The journal mailbox will connect the former Exchange 2010 CAS. Or we could migrate Journaling mailbox to Exchange 2013. Because Exchange 2010  could communicate
    with Exchange 2010 by RPC, but Exchange 2013 could communicate with Exchange 2013 by HTTPS.
    If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know. 
    Best Regard,

  • Connecting CAS Server to Mailbox Server in Exchange 2010

    Currently, we are running the CAS,HUB,and Mailbox role on the same Exchange 2010 SP3 server. At some point I would like to separate this out. Should be an easy question: what command gets/sets the settings which points a CAS array to a mailbox database?
    So I want CAS_SERVER1 -> DB1,DB2 and CAS_SERVER2 -> DB3,DB4

    Hi,
    In Exchange 2010, Outlook look for the “rcpclientaccessserver” attribute on the user’s Database to find the CAS server. You can manually set it by the following command:
    Set-mailboxdatabase –rcpclientaccessserver xxx
