Hi Jim, That's good to hear. But the Dallas folks are freaked out, I think. I'm having a heck of a time getting them to answer my emails, where a few months ago is was smooth sailing. Check out: http://www.washtech.org/wt/news/industry/display.php?ID_Content=4585 I hope that article is pure fantasy, as the Dallas site is excellent!

They might have added some outsourcing in India, but it hasn't replaced anything.

If so, problem resolution might take a lot longer. I've heard a rumor that the expert Dallas team is getting whacked and being off shored to India. If so, I suspect problem resolution times will increase significantly. I haven't seen much Indian participating here, on the Web boards or on the msnews newsgroups. So, they'll probably just forward all their problems to Jim, or let you sit on it for two or three months ;-) HTH, Tom Thomas W Shinder www.isaserver.org/shinder ISA Server and Beyond: http://tinyurl.com/1jq1 Configuring ISA Server: http://tinyurl.com/1llp -----Original Message----- From: Jean-Paul Natola [mailto:jnatola@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Sunday, August 10, 2003 6:55 PM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] Re: ISA server errors in ARRAY envirment (strange) http://www.ISAserver.org Call Microsoft, they only charge 295.

I encounter this error in 3 different domains in 3 of our networks in 3 different country so you can not imagine how greatfull I will be to the one capable to really help me to pass ovre this. I will appreciate if you are serious regarding this material since it is extremly important for me. If somone agree to help me over Internet I'm willing to pay for this. If someone agree to come to one of our location near Amsterdam to work on field I'm willing to pay also if can solve the problem. And now it comes the error. ----------------- I have a network 217.156.38.0 mask 192 Gateway: 217.156.38.1, All computers if have this IP as gateway. I install an ISA server with 1 NIC with IP from the class specified up here. I install in Integrated mode because I have more controll about specify the priority of the traffic. I install as stand alone. After I install succesfully I reboot computer. It boot OK ! And I promote to become ARRAY. After become array I look into EVENT LOG and I see folowing error Source: service controll manager Category: none Event ID: 7023 Description: The Microsoft ISA Server Control Center service terminated with the following error: The Specify directory service attribute or value does not exist. And after than a lot of errors come one after another like "Firewall service depend on MS ISA Server ...." and so on. I mention that this eror sudenly apear after one year of nice working of ISA. Before apear the error I install an Advance server as DC in all 3 networks. I read on the the inetrnet than this problem can be releated with the LAT. In the lat I setup the class up here and 217.156.38.255 - 217.156.38.255. If someone help me and work with me over email till I solve this I'm willing to pay good money. Why ? because till now no one was capable to help me solve this and I have many ISA servers not sharing CACHE and not working in ARRAY who will be a big advantage for me. Anyone dare to try ? I mean it. On the way of trying solving this issue I even make a crazy thing: I manually copy all AD information releated to ARRAY from one good domain to the domain I have problems and the problem still not solved. Other expriment I done, I make a backup of all computers inside a domain before installing ISA classes. A Nortom Ghost backup. So hard backup ! I install ISA classes, I install ISA in array and working joust fine ! I reboot ISA servers more than 25 times and ARRAY still work ! After 3 hours, after some reboot (no mor especial than the others) the error Show up), but interesting thing, the error show up only after reboot not while working... so not real time .... only after reboot. I might look crazy but I will reward the one who can help me solve this. It is no sens to tell you that I try all combination with SP1 with Feature pack or not and so on. It is no sens to tell you that I resore that Ghost Image to all servers more than 15 times while testing 2 weeks, 16 hours / day and no sollution to this. Simply do not want to work more than 2-3 hours. I was NOT having EXCHANGE installed and I was not install SP4 !!! it was only the SP3 with all UPDATES. I look forward to meet someone who have time and enough experience to can help me with this and who will be paid.
