Ok, looks like I have Service Pack 1 installed as my version number is 4.0.2163.213. The service pack 1 download at Microsoft states that the version number on SP1 is 2163.213. So it looks like I can install the update directly as suggested by KB ID:897716.

First time I've run into it, but apparently there is an RPC issue (Outlook 2003 uses RPC) between the Terminal Server and the SBS Server (which has ISA Server on it). This was also my first SBS & Exchange setup, so I've been stressing on it and a bit grumpy lately from lack of sleep and heat from the client to "get it done" ;-) Steve Moffat had it right when he said the "The W2K3 RPC issue with W2k3 SP1" I believe. This brings up an interesting point. I was told by one MS tech @ PSS that internal communications between computers on my internal network and the SBS Server (with ISA 2004) should not be scanned by the ISA Server, however, that does not appear to be correct. Live and learn. There is a microsoft article on the RPC issue at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;897716 I started a thread on this at http://forums.isaserver.org/Outlook_Terminal_Server_to_SBS_Exchange_Issu e/m_2 002006699/tm.htm which is at All Forums >> [ISA Server 2004 General ] >> ISA 2004 SBS >> Outlook Terminal Server to SBS Exchange Issue where Kyle had the solution. Now, I am having a hard time being able to tell what service pack for ISA is already installed, as the help about does not display an SP1 or SP2. Please see the thread, and answer if you can, at All Forums >> [ISA Server 2004 General ] >> Installation >> ISA 2004 SP! The version # I'm seeing on my installation is 4.0.2163.213. Am trying to figure out if I can just install the update as indicated by the Microsoft article, or if I need to install SP1 or SP2 first. From all the traffic going on about SP2, I'm real hesitant to put that one on, though it should include the hotfix I need.

I'd say don't install SP2. There's really not much benefit for such a small firm. I'd instead focus on getting the server configured and leave SP2 for later. What known RPC issue? I've got terminal servers all over the place and have never had an RPC problem. FYI: addressing your email directly to Dr. Shinder is a sure fire way to have it ignored by everyone else on the list.

The message boards don't seem to have many of you advanced folks helping out much--or maybe just with my basic questions. I guess I get what I paid for. Maybe it's the SBS thing...I feel like a leper. If it weren't for SBS I never would have been introduced to ISA Server, though. Argh, I don't want to rant and alienate the folks here but I'm frustrated with the lack of responses on basic questions. I've been reading, googling and experimenting a lot (ISA, SBS, Exchange) some of it sticks, some of it doesn't. Is there a more appropriate website or board I should use for beginner questions? Again, thank you for your reply, Steve, and apologies for the rant, Anthony ----- Original Message ----- From: Steve Moffat <mailto:steve@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, February 13, 2006 11:41 AM Subject: Re: ISA SP2 - Issues It can be installed remotely, but ou need to be physically there to restart the server, or have someone do it for you as it stops requests on completion.

I am a newbie in regards to ISA. And SBS. Though the school of hard knocks is training me quick ;-) What is the sequence to delete an existing cache? Will BITS caching be turned on by default when installing SP2? What is the sequence to configure BITS caching? Do you advise installing ISA SP2 in a small network setup (10 - 15 users) ? I've read a few times here that installing ISA SP2 through terminal services is not advised. Maybe it is OK if you hook in with the /console switch. What is your take on this issue?
