Hi Stephen,
What do you see in the ISA firewall's log file?
Thanks!
Tom

Thanks for responding Tom!
I see initiated connections, I see the destination ips and the destination port of 3389. Don't see a reson for what seems to be a timeout. No denied connection entries. Probably something simple that I am not seeing...

I have followed this guide, very well btw. I am able to TS into the ISA firewall via the rule setup for port 9999. When I try and TS into either the internal or perimeter servers, I can't connect. The internal LAN is set on port 9998 and the Perimeter is set on port 9997. I don't even see the connection attempt while logging on the ISA Firewall.
From the internal network I can TS via the IP:port to any of the servers. Please help. Mayne I don't have a newtork rule setup properly.

I solved my problem by making sure the data sent to the inside server appeared to be coming from the ISA server rather than the original source. The routing didn't work because it didn't know where to send the response.
Check boxes on the page to make sure they are set correctly. That fixed my issue.

Hi Stephen,
If the RDP server is configured as a SecureNAT client, then that shouldn't be required.
Thanks!

So i have gone through the whole article regarding publishing Terminal Services using the ISA Firewall (ISA 2004). I have no problem setting it up (my terminal server is inside my network) and i have it being published to a non-standard port.
The problem is i can't for the life of me figure out why i can't get tsweb published. I have no problems with tsweb internally and went through all the appropriate server publishing steps, etc., but i can't figure out what is going wrong. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
thanks

Hello all,
I loved the article and tried out the terminal server publishing. I ran into an error and was hoping to pick some brains. When my xp client tries to connect to my published terminal server it initiates the connection on 3389 and then gives the following closing error 0x80074e21 which is followed by the denied error 0xc0040017 FWX_E_TCP_NOT_SYN_PACKET_DROPPED
The server rules is set up pretty much folloed the article except I didnt redirect the ports. I have checked to make sure I can open a RDP session from the ISA box to the Terminal session in question. My ISA server is 2004 SP1 sitting on a windows server 2003 box. My terminal server is Server 2003.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dave

Here GOES.... all on isa 2004
If I configure the Term Server Access like the instructions say on a new ISA Server or a recently reconfigured (reconfiged by rerunning the template and setting up all the rules again)ISA Server will publish itself and the term server with no issue.
If I try on an existing ISA Server same rules and some with different rules it drops to the default rule and deny's it. HOW does it drop to the default rule with there is a rule above it specifically listening on those ports. It works correctly on a PIX FW you put an acl in a certain order it processes it in that order. No matter what order the rules are in. I have tried this scenario on 4 different boxes and all show the same symptom and same fix. So to fix I have to rerun the template and recreate all rules. Then no problems
also on some boxes it will work for months and then ONE rule change and its gone.

Hi Tom.
I found you artical very interesting, especially the rant on HTTP / HTTPS encapsulation. Since at this time I'm researching different ways to give our remote users access to our network. Our current policy for remote users is to create a vpn to the corporate network, and then create a RDP connection to our Terminal Server (application mode) using the TS client.
What I was intending on doing, was to use the tsweb (Remote Desktop Web Connection software) for clients to connect without the need to create a vpn. I was hoping to achieve this by publishing a secure website that hosts /tsweb with HTTPS bridging on ISA 2004, thereby utilising the application filtering of ISA. I was assuming that, in theory, it would be similar to publishing OWA. However, after reading the rant, I'm not so confident that using tsweb is a safer option.
Ideally I don't want to publish the terminal server straight to the internet, as it is percieved by the service manager as the less secure option. I personally think the creating VPN connections posses more risks in terms of virus threats and the ability to move data between the network and the client. I would also like an extra form of authentication. I was hoping to use the forms based authentication to pre-authenticate users.
Could you shed some light on the comparison between server publishing or tsweb?
Your insight is most appreciated

I don't see another forum for asking this question, so here it is:
After I reboot my ISA Server2004/Win2K3-SP1, RDP for remote desktop does not work on the server itself, but it does work on another server that I have published for terminal services. However, if I go to the services MMC and manually stop the restart the Microsoft firewall service on the ISA Server 2004 machine, everything works fine. Any ideas? Thank you.

Tom,
Nice article. Following your instructions, my internal TS is published to the outside and I can access it by entering the port number appended to the RDP connect-to address. Works great! However, how can I limit this to specific AD users within the network. The scenario is that this TS is inside a SBS 2003 Premium network. ISA is installed on the SBS box and the setup created publishing (access) rules from External to the SBS box RDP so it has always been accessible. To facillitate quicker access to the internal TS box, I want to allow myself and another vendor for this client to use the published internal server, but not any other users.
Any suggestions?
Thanks again for the article.
Terry

Hi SJF,
Great! I always assume that people are making the ISA firewall the default gateway, so it didn't occur to me that folks wouldn't be doing that.
Thanks!
Tom

Hi Ants,
That's why the ISA firewall is so cool!
You can give users VPN connections, but then only allow RDP to the destination servers for those VPN clients. You can even do this on a per user or group basis.
HTH,
Tom

Hi,
I have followed the article to publish RDP on my ISA server and internal server but without any luck. When doing a netstat -na on the ISA server I would expect to see that the ISA server was listening on port 8888 and 9999. This is not the case. Can anybody explain why this is not the case. My ISA server still listen on port 3389 only.
Cheers
Allan

Hi Tom,
Thanks a lot for your quick reply. Using fwengmon I could see that the server was listening on only one interface. I ran the network wizard and published the RDP servers again and now it works. Thanks.
Cheers
Allan

To all,
Microsoft SBS 2003 with ISA Server 2004. Two nic setup, everything works great from the Internal network.
I have read 'Publishing Terminal Servers with ISA Firewalls (2004) v1.1 by Thomas W Shinder but am still unable to connect to the ISA Terminal Server, let alone a second TServer.
So I'm taking a step back and asking a single question using the simplest scenario.
First, when I use the default port of 3389 the ISA log shows:
Original Client IP
168.103.20.133
Transport
TCP
Client IP
168.103.20.133
Destination IP
168.103.20.129
Destination Port
3389
Protocol
TCP_Outbound_3389
Action
Denied Connection
Rule
Default rule
Source Network
External
Destination Network
Local Host
Source Port
1868
Do I need to create an Access rule?
I have the luxury of having no other firewall device between by 'remote' test client computer and the public nic on my ISA server.
I have Tom's ISA Server 2004 book, finding time to really hunker down and read is elusive.

My problem is solved, self inflicted network rule from way back before I had Tom's book.
I had defined a Route relationship between my Internal network and External network objects.
Live and learn.
