In response to my whinging about the problems some people were having seeing my Windows 2003 server (which I ascribed to the SP1 update), Todd noted[1] that the Windows 2003 page suggests a couple of KnowledgeBase articles that describe similar-sounding problems:I had a look, and the overall problems sure sounded familiar, but the details were perhaps not quite there. For example, 899148 deals specifically with RPC calls involving VPN and/or ISA. This text gave me pause: "Only apply it[2] to systems that are experiencing this specific problem. This hotfix may receive additional testing. Therefore, if you are not severely affected by this problem, we recommend that you wait for the next Windows Server 2003 that contains this hotfix." Hmm. Can't say I'm severely affected, I don't think.
Anyway, I did apply the hotfix suggested in the second KB article.
Did it work? Who knows. Two people who previously were unable to see the website now can. At least one person still cannot. As I said before, it's damn hard to debug a problem you can't reproduce yourself. So I might try the instructions in the first KB, but ... maybe I'll wait.
The good news, though, is that the spam filter I installed recently (Outlook Spam Filter 3.0) is still batting 1000. Die, spam, die!
