I applied no post sp-1 fixes, but i would imagine it's worth a try.

Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] R2 In-Place Upgrade bug ?
do you guys want to hear something even more mind-boggling ?
i can ping the server from workstations outside the main office!!!
i've remotely connected to workstations at our IPSEC vpns to test login times and email access,a nd pinged the problematic server just fine!!!
arghhh
Matheesha:
Incoming connections i mean services that somehow are not defined to the server. I run a repadmin /replsum from another dc and it shows no errors. i run a dcdiag /s:problemserver with no problem. so it means that directory service traffic is allowed, but when i try to Dameware ( tcp port 6129) to the machine it times out, when i try to the ping the box i get nothing from the main office!
i checked the IPSEC domain and Standard profile and made sure no IPSEC polocies were applied.
if it's the SCW -- how do i look at it ?
could it someway be my checkpoint firewall at the local site ? how in the world can it accept icmp from other workstations ( win2k pro) at my remote vpn sites ?

I know there are a couple of updates for tcpip.sys which fix issues which will cause AD repl issues from a couple times in the field.

Subject: [ActiveDir] R2 In-Place Upgrade bug ?
Morning to all -
I just spent the last 6 hours with dell gold software support team trying to figure out the following occurrence:
The upgraded R2 DC does not accept incoming connections, but it appears it accepts certain connections. Particularly those related to directory services. e.g. telnet server ip 389 from the mail server works. \\serverip or servername brings up the shared printers and folders perfectly.
outbound traffic and icmp works fine, inbound icmp returns a time out.
scenario:
Windows 2000 SP4 DC in-place upgrade to windows 2003 SP1 then upgrade to R2.
connections to and from box were fine on 2003 sp1.
downgraded NIC drivers to match other r2 DC on identical server hardware/model
installed new nic drivers and proset
upgraded to R2.
rebooted and noticed a ton of errors with services hanging upon boot.
checked connection to the box from workstations and servers, but all requests timed out.
i made sure ICF was disabled.
i disabled IPSEC and entered dword value for ProhibitIpSec - nothing
i then enabled ICF configured exceptions - explicitly allowing ICMP, and still nothing.
reset the TCP/ip stack and winsock using netsh, nothing
servers has two nics, one of which is disabled. changed binding order so active is on top -- nothing
reinstalled the binaries of windows 2003 sp1 and upgraded to r2 again -- nothing.
i'm at a lost of ideas and sure could use to vast resources the contributors of this group may have or know of.
Thanks,

Two
quick questions-
1. Are
you positive there are no IPsec policies applied to this
machine?
2. Are
you also positive that the machines from which you've been testing *also* have
no IPsec policies in place?
I
can't think of a reason why this problem would surface only after you'd upgraded
to R2, but it might not hurt to take a look with the IP security monitor just in
case.
As far
as how to check whether or not it's a problem with the Security Configuration
Wizard (which was introduced in Win2K3 SP1 and hasn't gone anywhere since it's
quite new), you can read the log files as Matheesha mentioned, or you can
run SCW against the server and it will allow you to rollback a previously
applied policy (if applicable). If you try to rollback a policy and none was
ever applied, it will tell you on about the third page of the wizard.
You could then start over and select the option to create a new
policy, which would show you the current configuration of the machine as
part of the process of making the policy. If you're not sure where to find SCW,
go to Add/Remove Programs, Add Windows Components to add or remove it, and when
it's installed, it shows up in your Administrative Tools
folder.
