Ace, Thanks for hanging in there with me. You've helped a lot.

It took about 3 hours this afternoon, but I got it. I kept
whittling away at the errors, one-by-one. Using what I found in the
BPA's, the CEICW, dcdiag, netdiag, and MS IT Environment Health
Scanner; and looking them up on eventid.net, Bing, dnsstuff. com and
mxtoolbox.com. Two keys - I found that I had an Exchange Server Publishing Rule in
ISA 2004 that - of course - used RPC. This kinda put the 'ki-bosh'
on anything else using RPC. I deleted that rule and re-ran CEICW and
suddenly half the problems were gone. It took using the diagnostics
at mxtoolbox.com for me to think about looking at my old SOHO,
4-port router. Somehow, someway, port 25 and port 80 were disabled. I fixed that, re-ran CEICW, re-ran the BPA's and dcdiag & netdiag -
all clean and everyone happy that emails are flowing again!

I could go into more detail, but I'm bushed - been here since 7 PM
last night working straight through. Time to guzzle one last cuppa
joe and head home for food and sleep.

Dude, good job! See, I knew ISA had something to do with it. That's
why I kept pushing to remove it instead of trying to get a list of
every rule and filter you had. At least that was the pointer!

Put the zones back to AD integrated.

Get some sleep - you earned it!

Ace

I second the congratulations - following this thread made me dizzy. And Mike, get yourself a good hardware firewall appliance or use ISA on a separate, dedicated server. It has never been a good idea to run it on your DC/Exchange/DNS box and I never have done.



Dizzy? Imagine how I felt trying to nail it down! :-)
