Try replacing the memory chips.

Hello,

This is really getting on my nerves in a major way.

About 2-3 times per day (sometimes more), our ISA Box reboots - and all
the Event Viewer can tell us, is that the "System Shutdown Unexpectedly"
(well no duh) - and there is nothing else of any value whatsoever, that
tells us what it may have been.

This is totally unacceptable - and I need to get to the bottom of it.
Honestly - I've installed about 6 ISA Boxes - in several different
corporate environments - and I am quickly losing confidence in ISA
Server - as it just does not run like a true corporate firewall should.
In every case, we install the software in a Windows 2000 domain
environment, on ultra-quality Servers, SP1 & FP1, Windows 2000 SPx (the
latest), etc. We are always patched with the latest software upgrades,
and I own every ISA Book written (so needless to say, I do my homework).
What could this be?

ISA Server may be wonderful - but it's only as good as the Machine, and
Operating System that it runs on top of. Maybe it's time to purchase an
Internet Appliance for this mission critical task - as I can't bank my
life on something that is unreliable.

Is ISA Server truly a corporate solution??? Are all of you having good
luck in general with the Software?

I searched the Infobase on MS's site - and it comes back with NOTHING
regarding random reboots, and other such topics. Is there anything I
can check, that can narrow down why this is happening to us? Is it an
attack potentially?

I would appreciate any information that could help us out.

Thanks,

Mike
