If you’re just getting started with ISA Server you might find that its hard to tell where the place is to start. One place you could start is by using the Getting Started Wizard. You can access the Wizard by opening the ISA Management console and clicking the topmost node in the left pane. Be sure that you have Taskpad view enabled by right clicking on an object in the left pane, then going to View and then click on Taskpad.
When ISA Server was in beta testing, and shortly after its release, there were a lot of questions about how the H.323 Gatekeeper worked. In the last several months I haven’t noticed many questions about the Gatekeeper. Perhaps everyone has got the Gatekeeper all figured out and there’s no reason to ask questions. Or maybe the Gatekeeper is so impossible to figure out that everyone has given up! Hopefully it’s the former and not the latter because the H.323 Gatekeeper is really cool and promises to find a larger place now that gratuitous travel can be a dangerous adventure.
I get a lot of questions about how can ISA Server be used to block dangerous applications. What is a dangerous application?
As a fundamental part of ISA it is crucial that you as an administrator understand the principles of how the ISA services work with each other, and how they interoperate with the clients that attach to them. I have drawn up a diagram and written about how these services interact with each other to give you a better understanding of how these services function within ISA.
Want some more fun? Let’s look at the ISA scenario. What many folks will do is place DNS resolver IPs in both NICs, ISP in the external, local in the internal. While this seems to make sense, it’s actually very inefficient and you can actually cause huge timeouts this way. Remember that TCP/IP will choose the route for a given packet based on its destination, not where it found the data. This means that DNS entries are not really NIC-specific, it’s just more meaningful to the person entering them.
We’ve been around the block with ISA Server now for almost a year. During that time, I’ve had the chance to get to know some of the most common issues people have with ISA Server. Relentless review of the ISAserver.org message boards, ISAserver.org mailing list and the msnews newsgroups shows that some problems keep coming over and over again. What I’d like to do here is cover some of the most common and help with some answers.
In some countries, more and more families have 2 (or even 3) PCs:– one for the parents, used for business work– one for the children, to play (and to do some school-work……)Both like to connect to the Internet. But in …
