Proposed Answeraccess rule for Argent remote monitoring of ISA server 2006

    Hi,
    We need to perform remote monitoring of ISA server 2006 using Argent TCP port 3190 from an Argent server. Our ISA server 2006 is multihomed with 2 NIC. We added a new access rule from Argent server to localhost for TCP 3190 but it doesn't work. The access is still denied recorded in the ISA logs. Appreciate any help to enlighten me. The Argent server is located in the Internal network. Thank you.

    What exactly does the denied log include?
    An access rule allowing TP:3190 from the Argent server Ip to "localhost" should work assuming you have an Argent agent installed on the ISA.
    Accrdong to http://help.argent.com/ARTICLES/Q023.php?s=i, "Argent" uses a lot of ports, depending on the configuration you use and the monitoring you enable.

    We used Argent Guardian Monitoring Engine therefore 3190 is correct. The ISA log is not useful at all. It only state denied connection from internal (IP address) to localhost (IP address) on port 3190. No reason stated. I can't find where's not right. I created a user defined protocol with TCP 3190 outbound and created a network object argent server with the IP address.

    I have 2 more ISA servers did successfully configured to enable argent traffic but this one which has 2 NIC (multihomed) cannot work. The former pair working one is a single NIC deployment. It may be something to do with the different deployment method. I wonder where could have gone wrong.

    That cutom protocol should be defined as:
    Name = Argent Agent
    Primary Connection:
    Protocol = TCP
    Port Range = 3190 - 3190
    Direction = Outbound

    does that agree with what you've created?

    Yes that is exactly what I did. It is able to identified TCP 3190 Argent protocol in the access denied log.
