Proxy 2.0 Server Has Two Different Files for the IP Filter Driver (283634)

SYMPTOMS

When you add or remove a processor from Microsoft Proxy Server version 2.0, you may receive the following error message:

Error: C:\Winnt\System32\Drivers\Ipfltdrv.sys
Device Driver could not be loaded. 0xC000024.

The preceding message occurred when a processor had been added to the computer.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur when a processor is added or removed from an existing Proxy Server 2.0, and then you start up the system. The location in the system's memory that records where an access violation occurs, varies depending on whether a processor has been installed or has been removed.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this behavior, you must validate the size of the Ipfltdrv.sys file (the IP filter driver).

To Add a Processor:

When you add a processor to a computer, replace the file with the multi-processor version of the file. Then shut down your computer, add the hardware, and then restart your computer.

To Remove a Processor:

When you remove a processor from a computer, replace the file with the applicable (a single-processor or a multi-processor) version of the file. Then shut down your computer, remove the hardware, and restart your computer.
