Hello, We have been having a problem between Outlook and Exchange at the office and I know this is a pfSense support list but I wanted to check if there was any possible way pfSense could be causing any of the problems before I contact MS for a paid support call and have them blame pfSense. The problem seemed gradual so I can't say for sure or not but it was not too long after we upgraded a lot of 1.2.2 boxes to 1.2.3-RC3.
The problem manifests itself as exchange keeping idle connections alive and then not allowing the client to connect because exchange has reached the maximum connections of 32. This KB describes the error received on Exchange: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/842022 and then this one is where I have found myself after determining that the connections are being held too long: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948496/ Note it mentions "Inactive Outlook connections to the Exchange server may not be cleaned up." as one of the symptoms. Now, I've done everything on those KB articles but I just wanted to ask the pfSense community if anyone has experienced this or if there was something I could do to rule out pfSense as a part of the issue. It is only happening at remote locations and not at the central office. Also, all of those locations are where a pfsense router is in place remotely. We still have some sites on linksys VPN systems and none of those sites have had the problem. Thanks for any suggestions!
