Here is my Scenario I have An NT 4 Domain with PDC and 2 BDC on 1 BDC resides Proxy 2 and Imail ver 8 mail server. All was happy until I upgraded
the PDC to Win2K server with active Directory. All seemed ok in Mixed mode for Approx 2 months then freq Dr Watson errors started to occur on the BDC running IMail, SMTP32 service Failed. Server reboot was necessary to get mail flowing again.
After looking over my events I determined that active directory was not playing well with NT 4 anymore so I proceeded to migrate this BDC as well to Win2k and Active Dir.
After Migration i followed steps in several articles to use proxy 2 on win2k all seemed fine all services were started as needed. Proxy retained all previous config as was working in NT4.
No email in or out.
Removed Proxy 2 Mail is fine but now I have no firewall.
Is there any way to close all my ports on the server and have them open when needed as with proxy 2. or do i need to look at purchasing ISA server. Does anyone know of a firewall software Available to run on server? I dont need proxy just Firewall capabilities.
Any help is much appreciated Thks Herman
