Replace server that uses IPsec policy

[Guest Bentley]

I need to replace a server running Windows 2000 Server that is uses an IPSec

policy to encrypt traffic between it and one client station, with a Windows

2003 server. I do not need any of the new functionality of the Win2003

version of ipsec. I just want to do a one-to-one swap out.

 

As a test, I created an identical policy and applied it to the new server

and another client. That half worked, but caused the server to reboot every

3 hours with 1015 events, source Winlogon. I have now removed the new server

from the test policy.

 

There is no way for me to really test it until go-live, but does anyone have

an opinion about whether I can just rename/reIP the new server with the old

server's name and IP and IPsec just continue to function?

 

Thanks
