SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario. You have a Windows domain on which Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2004 is configured as a firewall. You try to add to the domain a client computer that is running a 64-bit version of Windows Vista. However, you receive an &quot;RPC Server unavailable&quot; error message on the client computer. Additionally, the computer is not added to the domain.

Note This problem occurs primarily in a Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2003 (Windows SBS) domain.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because 64-bit Windows Vista client computers add a third context element structure to a remote procedure call (RPC) bind call. However, the ISA Server RPC application filter drops this bind call as an incorrect RPC bind packet.
