Couldn't start the Windows Firewall/ICS service on Local Computer

Hi.
I have problem after installing ISA Server in my SBS 2003 Server.
I cannot activated firewall because ICS service not start yet.
And then, when I started there is error windows message:
"Could not start the Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)
service on local computer.
Error 123: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."
How this is happened?
The patch to executable is : "C:\windows\system32\scvhost -k netsvcs"
I checked in that directory, there is SVCHOST.EXE was exist.
Please help me, thanks before.

 

ISA doesn't use the firewall-ICS so this is normal behavior.

 

Thankyou Steve...do I have to disable this service?

 

Hello Steve,
I found services:
1. Microsoft ISA Server Control
2. Microsoft ISA Server Job Scheduler
3. Microsoft Firewall
4. Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)
Not running at all!
If you said common behavior when ISA Service installed, then why service
number 1 and 2, I must restarted manually?
And I have one problem again,
When I Running ISA Server Management, and then click SBS Internet Access
Rule Properties (for example),when I click Protocol Page , the errors comes
out
" MMC has detected an error in a snap in. It is recommended that you shut
down and restart MMC" with 3 option following.
If I restart the MMC OR restart the server, I still receive that error.
Please help me ... :-(

SOS..hello..plese help

 

1, 2, & 3 should be set to automatic and running. 4 should be disabled.

Sorry not sure about your MMC issue.

 

skippy,

How did you resolve the problem of those ISA services not starting automatically event though the Startup type is set on auto?
