Re: VPN with SBS Premuim

Hello Anthony,

Thank you for getting back.

I would like to confirm that after re-running CEICW, did you run Remote
Access Wizard?

Have you tried visiting RWW and downloading the latest SBS connection
manager on the problematic clients?

If not, I suggest you perform these steps.

If the issue persists, please help me gather following information:

1. Please help to gather the ISA Info:

1) Download the file from the following URL:

http://www.isatools.org/isainfo/ISAInfo.zip

2) Extract all files to a folder on ISA server.
3) Double click Isainfo.js. This will generate 2 files
ISAInfo2004-<computer-name>.log and ISAInfo2004-<computer-name>.xml in the
current folder.

4) Please send these files to me at v-mzhuan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

2. Please also help to gather the ISA logs:

1) Schedule a down time.

2) Open ISA 2004 management console.

3) Expand the server node and highlight 'Monitoring'.

4) In the right pane, switch to the 'Logging' tab, make sure the 'Task
Pane' is showed there.

5) In the 'Task Pane', click 'Configure Firewall Logging' under 'Logging
Tasks', and then switch the 'log storage format' from 'MSDE database'
(default) to 'File'.

6) Switch to the 'Fields' tab, click 'Select All', and then click OK.

7) In the 'Task Pane', click 'Configure Web Proxy Logging' under 'Logging
Tasks', and then switch the 'log storage format' from 'MSDE database'
(default) to 'File'.

8) Switch to the 'Fields' tab, click 'Select All', and then click OK.

9) Click 'Apply' to save changes and update the configuration.

10) Temporarily disable the Firewall service. To do that, please click
Monitoring | Services tab, and then right click 'Microsoft Firewall' to
choose 'Stop'.

11) Clear the current existing W3C logs. To do that, go to the log saving
directory and clean any existing .W3C logs. By default, the logs will be
saved to 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft ISA Server\ISALogs'. (Some MDF may not
be able to deleted, that's normal.) You may backup them first and then
delete them.

12) Go back to the ISA 2004 management console, and then Start the stopped
'Microsoft Firewall' service.

13) Reproduce the problem, stop the service, and then gather the resulting
W3C files to me for analysis.

14) Please also let me know the IP address of the testing clients so that I
can filter the data.

3. Please download the MPS Report tool from the following link and run it
on the SBS server, then send the generated CAB file to my mailbox
v-mzhuan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx for further investigation so that we can find what
the root cause is:

concern, please feel free to let me know.

Best regards,

| Hi Manfred,
|
| I followed your instructions and downloaded the MS Hotfix listed for the
| Windows 2003 SP2 networking issues, and then re-ran the CEICW again this
time
| picking to "change" instead of "do not", I am now able to successfully
| establish a VPN connection from 3 different Windows Vista PC's, but I am
| still unable to establish a connection from any Windows XP (SP2)
machines,
| the Windows XP machine, gets up to "verifying username and password" and
then
| sits there for about 30 secconds, there is no real error message, and the
| event tracing in ISA does not say anything has been denied??
|
| This customer is unfortunately a 24hour operation and I would be most
| greatful if you have any more suggestions.
|
| cheers
