IPSec

[lubinski]

Is there a way I can test to see if the IPsec policy I have enabled on the server is actually doing what its supposed to be doing?

Basically its a test VM environment where I enabled the default (secure server) ipsec rules in the GPO applied to the test client that I have.

Here is a little more information.

I have a GPO applied to my XP client. It has applied IPsec security settings. I used the default policy of Secure server, (so no communications are "open")

I also edited the DC policy to reflect the same IPsec policy of "secure server".

I cannot access a share on the DC when the DC has the policy active.

Question is, When both policies reflect the same thing, Why doesn't it allow communications between the client and server.
