IPSec causes dropped shares?

Wednesday, October 26, 2011 12:04 AM
We have two 2008 R2 file servers and (mostly) XP clients. Random clients sporatically drop mapped connections to 2 file servers, and access to the server is not resstored with log off/log on, but requires a client reboot.
This produces a Security log entry on both the client and server. Below is an example from the server.

I haven't been able to find any mention of this online. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi Bob,
Thanks for posting here.
Have ever set any IPsec policy or filter on either side ? if yes, how and what did we set ? any idea
What was the error prompt when connection been dropped? Can we still reach these servers by using other methods and protocols like ping IP addresses form clients? And will other hosts also been affected ?
I’d suggest first to patch the latest service pack and hotfixes for both server and XP clients.
Thanks.

We set a policy the Windows firewall on each server (vs via GPO) to request inbound & outbound IPSec, using kerberos then our domain certs.
The only error popups are from the whatever application, e.g.; Thunderbird, had a connection to that server.
I *believe* the server that drops can still be pinged. I've asked a desktop guy to verify this.
We've only seen this on the 2 2008 R2 file servers here.
All servers and clients are patched monthly.
thanks.
Bob

No, we opened a ticket with MS support and they sent us a tool to capture data related to IPSec. I sent them some logs but haven't heard back from them yet. I need to re-contact them...

I have found that if I restart the IPSec service or do a gpupdate /force it resolves the problem for a while so we don't have to reboot all the time. This is only an issue with Windows XP for us as our Windows 7 machines don't have the problem. If you do find a solution, I'd love to hear it. We are just dealing with it for the time being because we have Windows 7 upgrades coming in the near future and it is only affecting a small group of people (haven't found the common denominator yet).
