Routing and remote access stops when I apply changes in ISA

[irismaple]

Hi ,

When I apply the changes in microsoft isa server 2004 standard edition , the routing and remote access service stops responding and enters the stop state ! So I have to reconfigure the service each time I apply a change . Can anybody say what's the problem ?

Thanks .

What Windows logs tell you about it?

I'm running ISA 2006, and the same issue with RRAS clearing configuration and being disabled every time I modify any rules in ISA. From what research I've done, this is due to the Firewall service controlling the RRAS behavior. It would be nice if one could add the RRAS service to ISA and be able to control it, but apparently that's not the case. The way I look at it, if you want to route to any additional network you need to setup an additional interface on the ISA server and allow the ISA server to do the routing. Kinda sucks, I know. Jeez, wonder what you would do if you had 10 networks you needed to route??? Not feasable, I suppose, unless someone can shed some light on the subject...

Hi Jonathan ,
Thank you for your concern , maybe the way you told is suitable for routing issues , but what about remote access ? can ISA serve remote access requests ? So I think there must be another solution here .

Regards

irismaple,

Don't know if this will help a little, but here's a link on some facts about ISA and RRAS.
