Hi Mike,
I'm sorry I can't really say anything to your question as I don't have
any experience with that combo yet. But I do want to point out that I
appreciate the manner in which you brought this message to the list
instead of bashing things like you could have easily done. I do hope
you get some helpful answers. I would also encourage anyone reading
this thread that could share information to do so, whatever the outcome.
It's far too rare that someone shows this level of patience in such an
obviously frustrating situation.
-Shawn

Hello Everyone,
Could I please pester you all, and get your experiences with Windows
2003 Server running ISA Server 2004? I am running this OS and Software
combo, at 3 locations, on 3 different hardware brands (a Dell, a Compaq,
and a Clone machine).
FLAKEY is the only word that comes to mind when describing the overall
performance - and the chances of this happening on THREE different
brands of computers is almost mind boggling. The only conclusion then,
is that there are issues with Windows 2003 Server running ISA Server
2004. Can anybody solidify my findings and experiences?
Briefly, it will stop accepting VPN connections after a while. If I
make several configuration changes and then restart the service - I am
unable to perform a clean reboot when the time comes to do so (and that
royally sucks, when I am Terminal Served in across the USA and I have to
call somebody at the Office to reboot it for me) it just hangs on the
"saving settings" message during the shutdown process. If a remote VPN
network end (the other ISA 2004 Server across town) drops off and then
tries to reconnect it just refuses the connection, unless I then reboot
BOTH sides of the connection one more time. Etcetera, Etcetera,
Etcetera... I have many more things to list, but these are the main
ones. Its just unreliable overall, and it's cost me my credibility with
my client, and we just reverted back to Windows 2000 Server with ISA
2000.
Thanks everybody for offering any information regarding this. I'd
rather use the latest and greatest software (and I LOVE ISA 2004), but
not if it makes me look like a technical buffoon. What a terrible 3
weeks it's been for me.
Mike -
