Jim,

Just checking to see that you got my reply to this. The DHCP rules are messed 
up. Not sure why this is happening after SP2.

We need to clarify *which* DHCP rules you're talking about...

1.      Default System DHCP policies allow

*   DHCP Request from Local Host to Internal (UDP:68 à UDP:67)
*   DHCP Reply from Internal to local host (UDP:67 à UDP:68)
2.      SBS DHCP policies allow

*   DHCP Request from Internal to Local Host (UDP:68 à UDP:67)
*   DHCP Reply from Local Host to Internal (UDP:67 à UDP:68)

If a DHCP relay is in the path between the DHCP client and server, the traffic 
between the server and the relay will actually appear as UDP:67 à UDP:67 
regardless of direction.  Note that ISA doesn't make any distinction between 
this and DHCP Request traffic, since both are destined for UDP:67.  Is there a 
DHCP helper in either of these environments?

Based on the log excerpt you provided, it appears that it's the array rules 
that are failing.
Is that correct?

In SBS DHCP rules are automagically created in the system policy.

He doth speaketh truly, doth he.
SBS always had to create an array-level rule allowing DHCP requests & replies 
for the internal network.
I 'd be very surprised to see SP2 installation removing those, since the SBS 
team had to have tested SP2 as well.

Hi Amy,

I'm not sure what the sceanrio is is. Is there a DHCP server on the ISA 
Firewall? If so, there never were any System Policy Rules that allow for this, 
you've always had to create your own rules.

Subject: [isapros] ISA DHCP
Here's the promised update for the DHCP stops working issue after ISA SP2 
install. More are starting to show up on the SBS yahoo group. The server that 
I've seen belongs to Eriq Neale. I know Tom Shinder knows him, he's a pretty 
competent guy from there in Texas.

                                        -                       10/26/2006

0xc004000d FWX_E_POLICY_RULES_DENIED      0x0


I also ran an ISA info. Checked the server against mine and the system policy 
rules for DHCP are identical. Checked the NIC configurations those look good 
too. Checked that .255 is part of the internal network. Checked binding order 
and where DHCP is bound. Everything checks out.

If you recreate the DHCP system policy rules as firewall rules, DHCP works. Saw 
it with my own eyes. DHCP was working prior to ISA SP2 installation.

I'm stumped. Anyone?

p.s. I wish you guys would monitor the ISA MVP list as well.
