If you have a server, with Windows 2003, one day you can find your server disconnected from network :). It's exactly what I get. Simple reboot and server lost network connectivity. Event log full with system errors like: Event iD: 12291, SAM failed to start the TCP/IP or SPX/IPX listening thread Event iD: 4292, 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 then restart the computer. For detailed troubleshooting information, review the events in the Security event log. Event iD: 7023, The IPSEC Services service terminated with the following error: The endpoint mapper database entry could not be created. When you check MS Knowledgbase for those errors you will find the following articles, the very popular are those: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930220 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/912023 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;870910 BTW, apparently it's not caused by SP1. So, if you implemented all WORKAROUNDs mentioned in those articles, and server still disconnected from the network, try VERY simple solution :), changed RPC to start with localsystem instead of network service. Of course, remember to reboot your server :).
