Hi Warren,

You could go into the Services console (Start | Settings | Control Panel |
Administrative Tools | Services) and stop the Microsoft ISA Server Control,
then set the following services to "manual":

Microsoft Firewall
Microsoft ISA Server Control
Microsoft Web Proxy
Microsoft H.323 Gatekeeper

After these are stopped, you should be able to uninstall ISA 2000 from
Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel (make sure you uninstall the ISA client
from each workstation before you uninstall ISA). If you still can't
uninstall it, use RMISA.exe:

Thanks Merv! I went back in this morning and looked where you said to, and
the services were already disabled. So, I went to uninstall again and no
problem. Finicky things. Anyway, uninstalling the ISA server succesfully
remedied my REAL problem which was my emails were unreadable; Exchange was
receiving them but some workstations would not synchronize, others would have
the item in Outlook but attempting to open them would give HTTP 1.1/500
Internal Server Error. All good now.

Just to answer Cris' question, I am running a NAT firewall. I've got SBS in
a sinle NIC configuration so ISA would be useless anyway. Not to mention my
server is a single-core P III with maybe 512 MB of RAM. Its old. But I like
having my own mail server and all the functionality of Exchange.

Thanks for the help fellas

Warren
