Check your antivirus software to make sure it doesn't 
include some sort of pseudo-firewall feature.  Also make sure the built-in 
firewall isn't enabled.

Is this on a separate network segment then
your other boxes that you’re utilizing to ping it?  If not I would
say make sure you put a laptop into a switch port that you are positive is in
the same vlan as this server and start doing some testing there to ping the
server.  Have you taken a network trace on the server side to see if you
see any of these connections getting to the server however the response not

later security bulletin.

Thank you.

So it looks like i should get the hotfix related to this article:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/898060 but it says in that article 
that the download supplied is superceeded by the hotfix i applied 
already : Security update 913446 (security bulletin MS06-007) 
supersedes this update (898060).


so which hotfixes do i really need ?

what's the mystery is why can the clients and servers outside the 
subnet connecting via VPN ping this server by name and IP succesfully.

Re: [ActiveDir] R2 In-Place Upgrade bug ?

2006-07-29 Thread HBooGz
Thank you.So it looks like i should get the hotfix related to this article:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/898060 but it says in that article that the download supplied is superceeded by the hotfix i applied already : Security update 913446 (security bulletin MS06-007) supersedes this update (898060).
so which hotfixes do i really need ?what's the mystery is why can the clients and servers outside the subnet connecting via VPN ping this server by name and IP succesfully.

Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] R2 In-Place Upgrade bug ?

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

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 ?

Kurt -I applied the later of the tcpip.sys updates ( the one availble to download) and it updated the tcpip.sys file with a newer timestamp than what the other article would have given it -- is it even worth it ?

Re: [ActiveDir] R2 In-Place Upgrade bug ?

2006-07-29 Thread HBooGz
Laura --I'm running through the SCW and am not sure at which point do you want me to look at that determines if something is off. As i run through the SCW, i imagine the View needs to be set on Installed Options, which gives me an idea as to what is on the machine.
It runs through the security config databse and then i have an option to View Configuration Database. Once i view that, there are almost every possible microsoft app avaible for the server. I go to the Windows firewall application and it omes up with a status of Installed, enabled -- this is defintely off because the service is disabled and is not applied to any adapters ?
PS. I didn't have a rollback file to proceed.Then there is the role-based config wizardSecurity config wizard Where i have the option to uncheck the Windows firewalli have the options to skip the windows firewall and registry settings and audit policy, which effectively disables them on the machine 
And then the changed services , which has a lot of services listed and ones that it can disable -- in particular: Intersite messaging and RPC locator ( unnecessary on  a dc ? )how should i proceed?

RE: [ActiveDir] R2 In-Place Upgrade bug ?

2006-07-29 Thread Laura A. Robinson



No, 
I'm saying to run SCW first with the "rollback a previously applied policy" 
radio button selected to see if there was even one applied. Then, if there 
wasn't one applied, start the wizard over and begin the process of creating a 
new policy, but don't complete it. When you work through the wizard, it will 
actually show you all of the existing settings in place on the server. If 
nothing looks "off" at that point, then just cancel the wizard. If, however, you 
find that something is messed up, you may choose to either fix it manually or to 
actually create an SCW policy to fix it at that point. In fact, the SCW lets you 
take a policy you create and import it as a GPO, so if you wanted to be able to 
reproduce the settings, you could. The tool to do this is scwcmd; just type 
scwcmd /? at a command prompt and you'll get the options list. 

 
As far 
as whether or not this is a bug in the TCP/IP stack, I'll withhold judgement 
pending further testing. :-)

As far

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

Re: [ActiveDir] R2 In-Place Upgrade bug ?

2006-07-29 Thread Matheesha Weerasinghe
I dont think its SCW anymore. Admittedly I havent used SCW but I am aware of it. If policies were applied, the change logs will be in %windir%\security\msscw\ChangeConfigurationLogs. if I understand correctly, Port 445 must be open because your file shares and the like are accessible. According to GPO help docs that means ICMP is also allowed by the server.
Note: If any policy setting opens TCP port 445, Windows Firewall allows inbound echo requests, even if the "Windows Firewall: Allow ICMP exceptions" policy setting would block them. Policy settings that can open TCP port 445 include "Windows Firewall: Allow file and printer sharing exception," "Windows Firewall: Allow remote administration exception," and "Windows Firewall: Define port exceptions."
When you say you cant ping from the main office, are you talking of workstations/servers that belong to the same subnet of the DC they are pinging?I assume you did a trace to see ICMP coming into the server and whether its leaving the server.
I'm curious now as to whats happening. M@On 7/29/06, HBooGz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

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.

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 ?

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,

So it works while its W2k3-SP1 but then breaks once upgraded to R2?What did you mean by incoming connections? Did you just mean ICMP? or actual connections like to certain services? Are the other DCs allowing incoming ICMP echo requests and allowing replies out? Are they also W2K3 -SP1? 
I assume there is no other firewall software from thirdparty AV or anything else installed.Just an idea. Is it worth checking the rsop.msc for Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Network/Network Connections/WIndows Firewall/Domain Profile and Standard Profile /Allow ICMP exceptions?
Sounds to me like a security configuration wizard was run on it.I'd wait for someone more knowledgeable to say something if I were you ;-) Still, it doesnt hurt to check.CheersM@
