Then you've found your problem.

It's with your F5 config.

Subject: RE: CAS Array with SSL offloading

Here are the related lines in the log:
Attempting URL https://mail.harrison.edu/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml found 
through SCP
Autodiscover to https://mail.harrison.edu/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml start
Autodiscover request completed with http status code 500

It then tries the normal autodiscover urls, the one that it finds showing the 
same results.

The interesting thing is that if I update my hosts file to point to either of 
the servers in the CAS array for mail.harrison.edu, the XML doc comes up as 
expected. It's when I go to it via the F5 that it doesn't authenticate.

You'd have to show me the autodiscover output to answer that question.

Sounds to me like you have something set up wrong. After ONE time of providing 
your credentials, you should get an XML doc that has a 600 error.

Subject: CAS Array with SSL offloading

I'm settings things up for our Exchange 2010 migration and have run into a snag 
that is proving obstinate.

We have two CAS servers, Exchange 2010 SP1 on Windows 2008R2 SP1. I've created 
the CAS array via EMS.

I'm using an F5 BigIP to provide load balancing between the two members, and 
configured it using the including Exchange 2010 template. OWA seems to be 
working properly.

The issue I'm having is with autodiscovery. When I have Outlook 2007 create a 
new profile, it say that it's able to configure my settings. However, it 
doesn't setup Outlook Anywhere. If I tell Outlook to test autoconfiguration, it 
says that it was unable to determine my settings.

The log message for the autoconfig in Outlook says "autodiscover request 
completed with status code 500". If I have that PC point a web-browser to the 
autodiscover URL, I am prompted for credentials multiple times before it 
returns "you are not authorized". If I disable basic authentication for the 
autodiscover virtual directory and hit it with the browser I get what looks 
like an XML file.

Currently I only have CAS and HT servers, no mailbox role yet. Could that be 
part of my problem?
