SBS ISA 2004 + Publishing Terminal Server



Hi,

OK this has got me a bit puzzled.

I've disabled the default SBS RDP Server Access Rule in ISA 2004.

I have then published a new server by creating a server publishing
rule to point RDP on the default port 3389 to the internal Terminal
Server. This works fine.

Now...what I'd also like to do is to publish the SBS 2003 server on a
different non-standard port.

So I create another server publishing rule to do this and save the
changes..voila..works just fine.

I can now access the Terminal Server directly on the default port and
I can also access the SBS 2003 server on the same public IP but
specifiying the non standard port at the end.

...until I reboot the SBS 2003 server...then it no longer works....

This always and **ONLY** seems to happen when I have a Windows 2000
Terminal Server in the mix, if it was a Windows 2003 Terminal Server
then I know for certain that this would not play me up.

Anyone any ideas why this happens ? and why does it work OK up until
the point the SBS 2003 server is retarted.

I've tested this on a test rig as well, exactly the same thing
happens.

Its OK with a Windows 2003 TS, but falls over after a restart of the
SBS 2003 server if the TS is Windows 2000. ie access to the Windows
2000 TS still works but can no longer access the SBS 2003 on the non-
standard port.
If I delete the rule and recreate it it still doesn't work. It only
works first time out and up until the SBS 2003 server is restarted.
I'm just a bit puzzled why this happens.

Jim.
