Windows Event Forwarding on a Multihomed Windows Server

Hi,

I'm having issues with Windows Event Forwarding to my Collector a Multihomed Windows Server 2016 sat behind an F5!

The desired setup is to foward events using an F5 which forwards https traffic to port 5986 to the second nic of my Event Collector (the DNS name of the 2nd nic is servername-fe1) and the clients point to https://F5NAME/wsman/SubscriptionManager/WEC, the clients connect ok to the subscription as I have a SAN cert bound to WinRM but no events get forwarded (I understand this to be Kerbros authentication working as it should).

When bypassing the F5 and forwarding events to the 1st NIC on the server WEF works, but due to security issues in the DC we can't apparentley do this :-(

MS have suggested using Cert Authentication and not Kerbros.

Has anyone setup Windows Event Forwarding before using a F5 to forward events or an alias?

Will forwarding events to the 2nd NIC on the server work?

I probably should have added more info but it would have read like a novel like War and Peace!

Cheers

Simon
