    ipsec failing on boot and server in block mode

    good afternoon.

    recently, our sbs 2k3 is failing to start the ipsec service on restart /
    reboot.
    from the sbs technet blog :
    DNS by default will randomly pick 2500 ports when the service starts up, a
    port conflict will occur if the DNS server allocates a port that is
    required by another service and that service will fail once it requests
    that static UDP port. So far we have seen issues with AUTD, IPSEC, and
    IAS but there may be other services that will have a conflict.


    is the dns port conflict the only possible reason and editing :

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
    \ReservedPorts

    with :

    * 1645-1646 - Used by IAS
    * 1701-1701 - Used by L2TP
    * 1812-1813 - Used by IAS
    * 2883-2883 - Used by AUTD
    * 4500-4500 - Used by IPSEC

    an approved solution ?? i remember some time ago, ias was also failing on
    startup.


    found this reference :

    http://blogs.technet.com/sbs/archive...s-may-fail-to-
    start-or-may-not-work-properly-after-installing-ms08-037-951746-
    and-951748.aspx

    having this logged message :

    If the IPSEC service fails to start, the server will be running in Block
    mode and it will block all network connectivity to the server.



    In the case of the IAS Service failing to start, you will see the
    following event logged in the system event log:

    Event Type: Error
    Event Source: Service Control Manager
    Event Category: None
    Event ID: 7023
    Date: 7/12/2008
    Time: 6:38:37 PM
    User: N/A
    Computer: SERVER
    Description: The Internet Authentication Service Service terminated
    with the following error: Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/
    network address/port) is normally permitted.

    thank you in advance.
    pleite.

    This is an old problem, make sure you add the DNS reservation patch to fix
    your IPSec booting issue:
