This event might occur if the Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2000-based computer is not configured to permit the sending of the e-mail message or the SMTP server where you send the message does not allow relaying from your domain, or has an anti-spamming program installed that prevents the receipt of the e-mail message. See M293310 to resolve this problem. OR This event can also occur during a server startup/shutdown sequence if any ISA Alert actions are configured to send email (See ISA Management MMC\Servers & Arrays\<server name>\Monitoring Configuration\Alerts). During startup/shutdown, if the SMTP server specified in an "ISA Alert Actions" tab (or another dependent service) is unavailable when an ISA Alert fires, no email message can be sent and thus the Alert Action fails, triggering the "Alert Action failure" alert to fire. Event 14065 is especially likely to occur on machines where the ISA Server and the SMTP server reside on the same machine, because various services start/stop in various orders, possibly breaking dependencies between themselves, causing ISA alerts to fire. Example: you have the "Service shutdown" alert configured to fire when ISA services stop, and the alert is configured to send email when the alert fires. You also have the "Alert action failure" alert configured to fire when an alert action fails. During a normal shut down sequence, the "Service shutdown" alert will fire and send an email, but if the SMTP service has shut down first, then no mail can be sent and so the "Alert action failure" alert therefore fires, logging 14065 in the Application Event Log. In this case, the event can safely be ignored; further, it may be possible to author service dependencies such that services shut down in a prescribed order, but that would be a lot of work for questionable gain. -----Original Message----- From: Umesh [mailto:umeshblr@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, September 06, 2005 2:30 PM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] event id 14065 http://www.ISAserver.org Hi, Can anyone tell me what is the event id 14065 means.The detail message is given below Event Type: Error Event Source: Microsoft ISA Server Control Event Category: None Event ID: 14065 Date: 9/6/2005 Time: 4:01:32 PM User: N/A Computer: INHEX-WP-03 Description: Alert Service: One or more of the actions associated with alert Cache container initialization error has failed.
