client log in times while failed over (sfb on premise)
Hi,
The actual values (seconds) can be configured in the Skype for business Topology for Automatic Voice Failover. By default this is 300 seconds (you will have to include TCP disconnects and retries so not exactly 300 seconds but may be off by a few minutes)
The second part is relying on your DNS SRV/Lyncdiscoverinternal records configuration which may also cause issues if not done correctly.
Greetings,
Johan
- The clients will eventually log in well under the 300 second threshold. I'm also fairly certain my DNS entries are correct. I'm looking for what might be causing the client login delay for users homed on the failed over pool.
If you have Windows Firewall enabled on the servers, disabling stealth mode for it helped signficantly for us in speeding up sign in times in both local failover and pool failover scenarios.
Browse to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsFirewall\DomainProfile, create a new DWORD named DisableStealthMode, and set the value to 1.
Disabling this allows the front end servers where the services are shutdown to send back a TCP RST to the client when it tries to connect. Otherwise, if the client doesn't receive a TCP RST, it will wait 20 seconds before moving on to attempting to sign in to next server.
