Nope the changing to HTTPS does not work either

Ive looked around and YES this is a BIG problem - Also
called Microsoft and they cant help at this stage either.
Its a bug me thinks - but what a bad time to have it when
XP Sp2 is out !

Also my error code is 0x80072F78

AND - apart from updating to all the latest service pack
I have done nothing to ISA server - all default settings.
