I have a GPO that implements the Server (Request Security) IPSEC setting.
Pretty much everything works except PING. When I try to PING from one server
to the another, I get the 'Request Timed Out' message.

My understanding is that this policy has a setting that allows ICMP packets
to be sent unsecured so I don't understand why the PING is failing.

TIA

The default request security ipsec policy should exempt ipsec but to be sure
check the properties of that ipsec policy to see if "all ICMP traffic" with
a filter action of permit is checked. Also try pinging by IP address if you
have not done so yet and you want to make sure domain controllers are exempt
from using ipsec between themselves and domain members or problems will
arise as per advise in the link below. --- Steve

The 'all ICMP traffic' is set to permit. I have been pinging by IP address
and it still fails. The DCs do not have the IPSEC policy applied to them.

Take a look at the document below on troubleshooting ipsec of which parts
can help you track down what is happening. The other thing you might try is
if you can not find an apparent resolution is to create a custom ipsec
policy that specifies each protocol in the filter in the ipsec policy rather
than any such as one for TCP, one for UDP, etc but not including ICMP. It
could be that ping is timing out waiting for the ipsec policy to figure out
that it is allowed. You might try different timeout parameters with the ping
command. --- Steve
