Rebuild problemsYup, even ISA Server has to come out of the closet once in a 
while.

  Just wanted to do a final follow up on my original post for the benefit of 
the knowledge archives.

   

  Everything I described below was related to a problem with the web proxy. 
After a couple more weeks of watching and tracking errors, I discovered that 
the BIOS ACPI (MSI P3 motherboard) of the replacement machine was trying to 
read/write to memory space used by the web proxy service. It caused 
unpredictable behavior and occasional crash of the web proxy. BIOS update fixed 
the ACPI and all the errors, proxy crashes and random problems went away. 
Sometimes the problem is right at the front door instead of the upstairs 
hallway closet.

   

  I had to work at this one.

  Best Regards,

  Dan Bartley

  I had a major hardware failure on the ISA server. I had to completely replace 
it and rebuild from scratch. Absolutely nothing was changed on internal servers.

  I am having server publishing problems now and I can't seem to put my finger 
on why. I ran the Exchange publishing wizards for SMTP and OWA. Email is 
flowing in and out just fine. I can reach OWA with a test laptop on the 
internal network not set with firewall client or proxy settings. Most of the 
workstations can reach it fine. One workstation can not.

  There's more, possibly related. I also published 3 web sites. They are all 
published identically, except for where they redirect to. I have a specific 
internal IP for each web site. The test laptop can reach them all fine. Most of 
the workstations can, except the one having an OWA problem. Here's the sticky 
part. One of the web sites can be reached by everything with no problem.

  External sources can not reach OWA or 2 of the web sites. 1 of them works 
fine from outside, the same one that works from the problem workstation. 
Terminal services is having the same problem being published as OWA and the 2 
web sites. It all worked before the rebuild.

  If I turn off proxy in Internet options on the problem workstation all the 
web sites are reachable. 

  Using ISA Enterprise in stand alone integrated mode. SP1, FP1 and all post sp 
hotfixes, just as before.

  I also had problems with allow-deny rules. It was ignoring deny rules for 
accessing external sites. I had the allow all rule for Internet and the created 
deny rules for specific users and groups based on schedules. Everyone could 
still access everything at all times. I had to change the allow rule to 
specified by users and groups and then the users restricted by hours worked 
after I created scheduled allow rules.

  I'm sure I've missed something painfully obvious, but it escapes me. Any 
suggestions on where I should be looking? TIA

  Best Regards,
