Joseph, Have you recently deleted any protocol definitions? ISA Server warns you when you do this, that if the deleted definition is used in any "Allowed Protocol" policies, the Firewall service will fail to start.

Is the server using ACPI IRQ sharing? Jim Harrison MCP(2K), A+, Network+, PCG ----- Original Message ----- From: Joseph King To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Sent: Monday, September 03, 2001 9:35 PM Subject: [isalist] Error 213007 on PowerEdge 2550 http://www.ISAserver.org We have ISA Standard Edition running on a Dell PowerEdge 2550. The specs are: 1 GHz PIII, 512 MB of RAM, and 18 GB of disk space. The Windows 2000 Server has SP2 installed, is a member of an NT domain, and is supporting 400 users. We have already gotten used to the fact that despite 2 rebuilds, we have to reboot at least once per day because the internal NIC stops responding (no matter which NIC is internal). However, after today's reboot, the firewall service failed to start. The system log gives me an event ID 7024 with the following description: "The Microsoft Firewall service terminated with service-specific error 213007." The corresponding application log error was: "Microsoft Firewall failed to start. The failure occurred during Reading protocols because the configuration property msFPCName of the key SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Fpc\Arrays\{03700E96-6874-41BF-8E6D-876A399BAF18}\PolicyElements\Protocols\{158DB1ED-0D67-4753-AEC6-4188CE7644FC} could not be accessed. Use the source location 2.1927.3.0.1200.50 to report the failure. The error code in the Data area of the event properties indicates the cause of the failure. For more information about this event, see ISA Server Help. The error description is: The system cannot find the file specified." There is only 1 Q article referring to that error, and that is Q284701 at http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q284/7/01.ASP. It does not seem to apply to our scenario, because this server never ran a beta or release candidate version of ISA. Uninstalling and re-installing ISA did not resolve the problem Has anyone seen anything similar? Despite 30 days of testing, we've had nothing but problems since we put this server into production, and I am open to any and all suggestions.
