More fun with ISA. Brand new install of Win2k Server. I install the ISA Schema, toss ISA onto the machine and the service won't load. This is what I get in Event Viewer:

Microsoft ISA Server Control failed to start. The failure occurred during Service initialization because the configuration property msFPCSiteName of key LDAP://SERVERNAME.domain.edu.on.ca/CN={3431E32E-423B-4364-A17D-2CCE71157CAD},CN=Arrays,CN=Fpc,CN=System,DC=domain,DC=edu,DC=on,DC=ca is not valid. Use the source location 114.260.3.0.1200.50 to report the failure. The error code in the Data area of the event properties indicates the cause of the failure. For more information about this event, see ISA Server Help. The error description is: The parameter is incorrect.

Any idea's?

Hi Colin,

Remove the machine from the array, and try to rejoin the array again. If that doesn't work, create another array and join that one.

HTH,

Heh, you're probably starting to hate me about now, but...

I've reinstalled ISA, removed the ISA Enterprise stuff from the Schema, tried creating new arrays, tried removing and joining the array... I get the same problem, but with different servers.

The only thing I haven't done is re-install Windows 2000. This is a new box, nothing else on the machine, save ISA.

What does this error normally mean when ISA can't start? I've looked through the net and on the MS site, but haven't found any info on it yet.

Thanks....

Hi Colin,

Not sure why this would continue to happen. These AD related problems aren't very well documented, as you've seen. You might try upgrading to SP1 before trying agian, as I notice that you're using a pre SP1 version.

HTH,
Tom

I have installed SP1 since then, same thing. But I found an article on the MS site that gives 'work arounds' to the problem.

Thanks Tom.
