The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Windows server 2003 does not communicate with network

Asked by sylvain_langlois in Windows NT Networking

Tags: ipsec, 2003, windows, server

Hello,


After installing Service Pack 1 on my Windows Server 2003, the server does not communicate anymore with the rest of my network.  This server is a DC.  Here's what happens:

During the startup process, the server is "pingable" for a short period of time.  Then, there's a window that pops-up saying that "At least one service or driver failed during system startup.  Use event viewer to examine the event log for details."  At that point, the server acts like it's offline.

I checked the device manager and my network card status is ok.  Windows even tells me that the card is connected to the network.  Pinging 127.0.0.1 works.

After examining the event viewer, here's what I found:

Event ID: 4292
Source: IPSec
Type: Error

Description: The IPSec driver has entered Block mode.  IPSec will discard all inbound and outbound TCP/IP network traffic that is not permitted by boot-time IPSec Policy exemptions.  User Action: To restore full unsecured TCP/IP connectivity, disable the IPSec services, and the restart the computer.  For detailed troubleshooting information, review the events in the Security event log.


Event ID: 7023
Source: Service Control Manager
Type: Error

Description: The IPSEC Services service terminated with the following error: The system cannot find the file specified.


When I look in the services window, I see that the IPSEC Services is stopped.  When I try to start it, I get a pop-up saying "Could not start the IPSEC Services service on Local Computer.  Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified."

I don't want to disable the IPSec services as suggested in the first error description.  I have another Windows Server 2003 SP1 (another DC), and the IPSec service is working fine.

I tried to remove the NIC from the device manager and I rebooted to reinstall it.  I tried rebuilding the TCP/IP stack (netsh int ip reset).  I tried repairing Winsock (netsh winsock reset).  I tried scanning the Windows protected file (sfc /scannow).  The only thing that kinda solved my problem was uninstalling SP1.  Of course, that is not really an option...

Thanks for your help!
