ISA 2006 and RPC problem - tra

Wednesday, July 25, 2007 10:36 AM

Hallo All,

I have a strange behaviour with a fresh installed ISA Server 2006 in a
Windows 2003 environment.

The scenario: 10.1.1.146 (FAISA03) is ISA server internal NIC, 10.1.1.101
and .105 are the domain controllers.

When I log on the server it takes a long (very long!) time in "Applying your
personal settings".

This is the event on ISA server Application log:
----------------------------------------

----------------------------------------

All system policies relevant to RPC do NOT have “enforce strict RPC
compliance” checked.

System policy #22 (Allow RPC from ISA Server to trusted servers) is enabled
from ‘local host’ to ‘internal’

‘internal’ network is set from 10.1.0.0 to 10.1.255.255, with address
10.255.255.255 added.

Trying to fix this problem I also created more rules and a new address range
‘ISA uffici’ including the unique IP of internal ISA Server NIC and a subnet
‘Server uffici’ with address range 10.1.0.0/16:

‘Server Uffici Traffic 01’  - Allow – All Outbound traffic – From ‘internal’
– To Localhost and ISA Uffici’ – All Users

‘Server Uffici Traffic 02’  - Allow – All Outbound traffic – From Localhost
and ISA Uffici’ – To ‘internal’ – All Users

RPC In – Allow – RPC Server (all interfaces) – From ‘Server Uffici’ – To
Localhost and ISA Uffici – All users

RPC Out – Allow – RPC (all interfaces) – From Localhost and ISA Uffici – To
Server Uffici – All users

Of course, logoff phase takes a long (very long!) time too.

ISA was installed AFTER adding FAISA03 to the domain.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

ISA 2006 and RPC problem - Phillip Windell

Wednesday, July 25, 2007 11:07 AM

And ISA uses what for is "DNS" in the TCP/IP config?

Was the ISA box a Domain Member before the ISA Software was installed?

Hi Phillip,More infos. - tra

Hi Phillip,

More infos.

On ISA box I have installed Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 with no virtual
machines running and a third NIC connected to another network (in the future,
this will be a sub-domain network with its own DC). ISA behaviour is the same
with third NIC disabled and VS2005 services stopped so I believe neither of
them is related to the problem.

Both DCs (10.1.1.101 and .105) are DNS servers for the domain.
DCs are both Win2K3 R2 std eng x64, ISA server Win2K3 R2 std eng x86,
Microsoft Update reports "0" for each category on all servers.

The three NICs ISA Box are configured as follows:

- WAN: 192.168.102.12/24; gateway 192.168.102.1; no DNS; bindings: TCP/IP
- LAN (Internal): 10.1.1.146/16; no gateway; DNS 10.1.1.101 and .105;
bindings: Client for MS Networks; File and printing sharing for MS Networks,
TCP/IP
- LAN (other network): 10.152.100.102/16; no gateway; no DNS; bindings:
Client for MS Networks, File and printing sharing for MS Networks, TCP/IP

For your second question, as I stated in my original post:


Thanks

Ok, that all looks good. I don't see anything wrong with it. - Phillip Windell

What are the specs of the Internal Network Definition?
Address Ranges in particular?

Also if SP2 for Server2003 has been applied it has been known to cause
communication problems.

ISA 2006 and RPC problem - tra

Wednesday, July 25, 2007 12:28 PM

Internal network was auto-defined during ISA installation:
- from 10.1.0.0 to 10.1.255.255
- from 10.255.255.255 to 10.255.255.255

Win2k3 SP2 is applied: the server was installed after SP2 release, from then
it is offered as critical update instead of all former updates.
I also applied KB925403 but nothing changed.

The behaviour is really strange, as all traffic between ISA and DCs works:
DNS, MS CIFS on TCP/445, LDAP on TCP/389, TIME, Kerberos... all BUT RPC and
unidentified traffic on higher, variable ports from DCs to ISA (as you can
see from original log)!

ISA 2006 and RPC problem - Phillip Windell

Wednesday, July 25, 2007 2:56 PM

It should be 10.0.0.0 --10.255.255.255
Or at a minimum 10.1.0.0 -- 10.1.255.255
Pick one, not both, because they overlap
The second will cover you if you expand with the 10.152.x.x segment you
mentioned.
I don't think this is your original problem, but it should be corrected
anyway.


I'd recommend disabling some of the "extras" that were added by SP2.  The
three problem ones that have become somewhat "famous" are EnableTCPA,
DisableTaskOffload, and EnableRSS.  They are found in the registry at:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\

Some may already exist, some you may have to create.

They are all DWord Values

EnableRSS=0
EnableTCPA=0
DisableTaskOffload=1

Probably want to reboot everything after that.

If that doesn't work you can always put things back like they were.

Thanks, now it works, even with third NIC and all Virtual Server bindings - tra

Thanks, now it works, even with third NIC and all Virtual Server bindings
enabled!  :-)))

Working with virtualization, I've already had troubles related to
TaskOffload parameter but I think the problem is different for ISA. I
described the problem in an article recently published on Technet italian web
site. Sorry, my article is in italian only, but the issue is well detailed in
KB888750.
Maybe the explanation in a default Win2K3-SP2 scenario is that ISA drops
the packets as it thinks to be under attack?

Greetings

I'm not sure of all the inner details and I don't fully understand what
those "new" features in SP2 are really supposed to do,...but I know that
when strange communication issues pop up after SP2 is applied that making
those changes seems to fix it.

Not sure what you asking.  Am I am MVP?,..no I am not.

I used to be.  There is a period of time that has to pass before being
re-elgible, which I think is 6 months. That would put me around August or
after.  I don't remember all the details.
