The problem is that Windows Server 2003 SP1 changes RPC communications so that it works in a way that Checkpoint identifies as illegal. I applied a change to the RPC endpoint identification process in Checkpoint and that fixed the issue.<br />
<br />

<br />
1) On the SmartCenter Server, stop the firewall services by typing at prompt: cpstop<br />
2) Back up the $FWDIR/lib/dcerpc.def file.<br />
3) Edit the dcerpc.def file. (Use edit.com from CMD prompt as Notepad/Wordpad will corrupt the file)<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Original<br />
#define NO_ENFORCE_CNTX_NUM 0<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Modified<br />
#define NO_ENFORCE_CNTX_NUM 1<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
4) Save changes and close the dcerpc.def file.<br />
5) Start the firewall services by typing at prompt: cpstart<br />
6) Log into SmartDashboard, and install the Security Policy.<br />

Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 won't allow RPC service to execute.

Operating system security (OS security) is the process of ensuring OS integrity, confidentiality and availability. OS security refers to specified steps or measures used to protect the OS from threats, viruses, worms, malware or remote hacker intrusions. OS security encompasses all preventive-control techniques, which safeguard any computer assets capable of being stolen, edited or deleted if OS security is compromised, including authentication, passwords and threats to systems and programs.
