All you do to add the isa server to domain is have the internal nic plugged into your network and make sure the internal nic has dns of the private network.... Next question would be is you AD installed correctly?? Do you have all the service records needed? If not stop the netlogon service and restart it this will force registration of the srv records , but make sure dns is set to dynamic updates at least until the srv records are added......

I have two windows 2000 servers ready for configuration. One is already set up as the Domain Controller, with Active Directory, WINS, DNS server, Exchange, DHCP etc. server, according to isaserver tutorials (thanks for the gerat work). The uplink to the internet was not connected. (necessary?) The second server will become the ISA server. Here is the problem: I am not sure how to bring the ISA server into the Domain as a "member-server" as suggested. I am familiar with ISA and DNS (seems fine) But i cannot get the ISA server to connect to the domain. [RPC server is unavailable] There is an A record on the DNS server pointed to the isa host. DNS/GW IP is configured as provided in tutorials. What am i doing wrong here? thanks in advance. .frihani ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: btirch@xxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub')
