Tom,
Using WMI across the network to an ISA Server is a failed exercise because
remote WMI requires DCOM and ISA doesn't support that protocol.
I'd advise that you break these problems out into segments and t/s them
separately. They may end up being a common problem, but you can't chase
multiple cats at once.
1. What warning or error events do you find in the system and application
event logs?
2. What exactly did you to when you "enabled ping"? Where was the client
you used for the test?
3. For the VPN problem, 678 is the client saying that it couldn't connect
to the VPN server. Does netstat show anything listening on port 1723? Do you
have any event log entries from RRAS complaining about an inability to
establish PPTP listeners?
4. For the all traffic problems, use the ISA live logging while testing
that application - what do the logs say about this test?

I get error 678 when trying to VPN in. The remote computer did not respond. For
testing purposes, I have enabled ping so I can try to ping my ISA server, but I
cannot. Even though I can get to all websites, email, OWA, RPC over HTTP just
fine using the FQDN.

I seem to have lost the ability to connect via VPN and FTP to my ISA 2006 SP-1
It happened after I installed WMI from the Add/Remove Programs - Windows
Components - Management and Monitoring Tools, then I reinstalled SP-2 (W2K3
Server 32 bit) because it called for the original DVD media (no SP) - the only
other changes made before the issue were the April 22, 2010 security updates
from Microsoft were installed. I have uninstalled all those as well too.
I installed the WMI so I could run the W2K8 Readiness Tool across the network
to see if the servers are able to support W2K8 (per Microsoft directions in
their white paper on using the Readiness Tool)
I have since uninstalled WMI but still have the same issue.
I can connect to all websites that I published, users can get out onto the
Internet, we can get to OWA, etc. just VPN and FTP do not work.
Any ideas to point me in the right direction before I contact Microsoft or I
rebuild my server (last resort)
Thanx,
-Tom Rogers
