| OK, my mistake due to a misunderstanding of the RPC Filter.
|
| Here is what I said in my original post:
| "I have disabled Strict RPC Compliance on the Active Directory rule
| and disabled the RPC filter both at the Enterprise and Array levels."
|
| That apparently was what CAUSED the problem. (I'm surprised someone
didn't
| catch that, but I do tend to make long posts.) I am assuming that the
Strict
| RPC Compliance didn't cause the problem, but rather disabling the RPC
Filter.
|
| The reason I had done that is because in the past, the only way I could
get
| a certificate from the CA in the parent domain was to configure the child
| domain ISA server this way. When I did these new ISA 2006 installations,
I
| proactively configured ISA in that manner in order to avoid problems
(duhhh).
| Obviously, I need to learn more about what the RPC Filter does. In the
case
| of turning it off to fix the certificate problem, that should have been a
| temporary configuration I believe. (Again I need to find out more; I
think I
| may need to keep Strict RPC Compliance off on the child domain so it talk
to
| the parent domain CA.)
|
| Cheers.
