Be prepared to read some very strange error. 

I encounter this error in 3 different domains in 3 of our networks in 3
different country so you can not imagine how greatfull I will be to the
one capable to really help me to pass ovre this.

I will appreciate if you are serious regarding this material since it is
extremly important for me.

If somone agree to help me over Internet I'm willing to pay for this.
If someone agree to come to one of our location near Amsterdam to work
on field I'm willing to pay also if can solve the problem.

And now it comes the error.
-----------------

I have a network 217.156.38.0 mask 192
Gateway: 217.156.38.1, All computers if have this IP as gateway.

I install an ISA server with 1 NIC with IP from the class specified up
here. I install in Integrated mode because I have more controll about
specify the priority of the traffic.

I install as stand alone. After I install succesfully I reboot computer.

It boot OK ! And I promote to become ARRAY.

After become array I look into EVENT LOG and I see folowing error

Source: service controll manager
Category: none
Event ID: 7023

Description: The Microsoft ISA Server Control Center service terminated
with the following error:
The Specify directory service attribute or value does not exist.

And after than a lot of errors come one after another like "Firewall
service depend on MS ISA Server ...." and so on.

I mention that this eror sudenly apear after one year of nice working of
ISA.

Before apear the error I install an Advance server as DC in all 3
networks.

I read on the the inetrnet than this problem can be releated with the
LAT. In the lat I setup the class up here and 217.156.38.255 -
217.156.38.255.

If someone help me and work with me over email till I solve this I'm
willing to pay good money.
Why ? because till now no one was capable to help me solve this and I
have many ISA servers not sharing CACHE and not working in ARRAY who
will be a big advantage for me.

Anyone dare to try ? I mean it.

On the way of trying solving this issue I even make a crazy thing: I
manually copy  all AD information releated to ARRAY from one good domain
to the domain I have problems and the problem still not solved.

Other expriment I done, I make a backup of all computers inside a domain
before installing ISA classes. A Nortom Ghost backup. So hard backup !

I install ISA classes, I install ISA in array and working joust fine ! I
reboot ISA servers more than 25 times and ARRAY still work !

After 3 hours, after some reboot (no mor especial than the others) the
error Show up), but interesting thing, the error show up only after
reboot not while working... so not real time .... only after reboot.

I might look crazy but I will reward the one who can help me solve this.

It is no sens to tell you that I try all combination with SP1 with
Feature pack or not and so on.

It is no sens to tell you that I resore that Ghost Image to all servers
more than 15 times while testing 2 weeks, 16 hours / day and no
sollution to this.

Simply do not want to work more than 2-3 hours.

I was NOT having EXCHANGE installed and I was not install SP4 !!! it was
only the SP3 with all UPDATES.

I look forward to meet someone who have time and enough experience to
can help me with this and who will be paid.

Yours sincerely,
