Jim, 

 

How come all it took was for me to join the server that was going to run
ISA 2004 Server running Windows 2003 Server non-SP1 to a SP1 Windows
network; Windows Update to produce the RPC issue? ISA 2004 was not
installed as of yet. Sounds like its more of a Windows thing than it is
and ISA thing to me. 

 

I have tested this on VM Servers, and on non-VM Server and received the
same results in both cases. Maybe Microsoft failed to do complete tests
in their labs. 

 

Andrew

Wow - Andy got one (almost) right.

The RPC problem is in fact, directly related to W2K3 SP1.

ISA is affected and as I've pointed out before, there are two separate
ISA fixes that deal with this particular issue.

Whether or not ISA affects this traffic depends on whether or not ISA
sees it and if the RPC filter is involved.

Steve, 

 

Nice try. The PRC issue with Windows 2003 Server not running SP1
connected to a SP1 AD is not directly related to ISA 2004, its related
to Windows 2003 Server. Even without ISA installed Windows 2003 Server
non-SP1 will produce the PRC issue and cause NTAUTH/SYSTEM to crash
forcing the server to restart in 1 minute. Long enough to download SP1
right? LOL

 

The only thing I found odd was that when I upgraded my VM tests machines
to SP1, and had an ISA server running on non-SP1 I didn't really see the
RPC issue appear as much.

I was able to figure out what the problem was. It seems I didn't notice
there was a wireless router connected to the network using the same IP
as the ISA box, and even stranger during the problem ISA never
complained that there was an IP conflict on the network. I will say that
one thing I have noticed if you update all your machines to SP1 using
windows update and not ISA things seem to be okay with ISA, however if
you use a slipstream version of SP1 Win2k3 Server and you install
non-SP1 on your ISA box within minutes the ISA starts crashing with the
RPC bug, and you can't even download SP1 without it crashing. Microsoft
has done some very bad voodoo shit to SP1.
