I have a Windows 2003 Standard server as a single domain controller for my domain. &nbsp;I have been having the IPSEC service failed to start on the server periodically. &nbsp;The Event log has the following:<br />
<br />
Event: 7023<br />
<br />
The IPSEC service terminated with the following error:<br />
Only one usage of each socket address (Protocol / &nbsp;Network Address / Port) is normally permitted.<br />
<br />
The server seems to be pretty much dead in the water as for doing its normal roles. &nbsp;DHCP is not allocating addresses. &nbsp;A ping to the server is not returned. &nbsp;I can't connect a network drive. &nbsp;Etc.<br />
<br />
This server does NOT have the Cisco VPN client on it. &nbsp;I have read numerous sites that have shown a problem with it that generates this problem. &nbsp;It's not the case with this.<br />
<br />
I am looking for any suggestions as I have not had much luck finding anything else that might be the cause.<br />
Thanks!<br />

IPSEC service fails on Windows 2003 domain controller

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
