But on "one" of them it did... All it takes is one... The service was definitely stopped, so the recovery properties would have taken effect in this case. If I had it set to restart or reboot, it would have saved me a twenty mile trip. Your program takes this a step further, not watching just the service, which is nice. However, with the built-in recovery abilities or with your program, it still is subject to a possible reboot. Isn't that how some viruses operate to install themselves? -----Original Message----- From: Wayne Berry [mailto:wayne@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, April 26, 2005 14:14 To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: Firewall Service Crashed... http://www.ISAserver.org Dan, On one of the error you where reporting, the Windows Service for ISA doesn't die, the ISA server just stops responding. So using the Windows Service properties will not help. -Wayne
