Just wanted to do a final follow up on my original post for the benefit of the knowledge archives. Everything I described below was related to a problem with the web proxy. After a couple more weeks of watching and tracking errors, I discovered that the BIOS ACPI (MSI P3 motherboard) of the replacement machine was trying to read/write to memory space used by the web proxy service. It caused unpredictable behavior and occasional crash of the web proxy. BIOS update fixed the ACPI and all the errors, proxy crashes and random problems went away. Sometimes the problem is right at the front door instead of the upstairs hallway closet. I had to work at this one.

I had to completely replace it and rebuild from scratch. Absolutely nothing was changed on internal servers. I am having server publishing problems now and I can't seem to put my finger on why. I ran the Exchange publishing wizards for SMTP and OWA. Email is flowing in and out just fine. I can reach OWA with a test laptop on the internal network not set with firewall client or proxy settings. Most of the workstations can reach it fine. One workstation can not. There's more, possibly related. I also published 3 web sites. They are all published identically, except for where they redirect to. I have a specific internal IP for each web site. The test laptop can reach them all fine. Most of the workstations can, except the one having an OWA problem. Here's the sticky part. One of the web sites can be reached by everything with no problem. External sources can not reach OWA or 2 of the web sites. 1 of them works fine from outside, the same one that works from the problem workstation. Terminal services is having the same problem being published as OWA and the 2 web sites. It all worked before the rebuild. If I turn off proxy in Internet options on the problem workstation all the web sites are reachable. Using ISA Enterprise in stand alone integrated mode. SP1, FP1 and all post sp hotfixes, just as before. I also had problems with allow-deny rules. It was ignoring deny rules for accessing external sites. I had the allow all rule for Internet and the created deny rules for specific users and groups based on schedules. Everyone could still access everything at all times. I had to change the allow rule to specified by users and groups and then the users restricted by hours worked after I created scheduled allow rules. I'm sure I've missed something painfully obvious, but it escapes me. Any suggestions on where I should be looking?
