RE: ISA Server and Win2k3 standard OS

John -

while I do not have any specific experience with this, I would reccommend that you try the following:
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;331062)

1)Start the ISA Server Setup process. You receive the following message:

ISA 2000 ISA 2000 requires Service Pack 1 to function correctly on this version of Windows. During the installation, error messages and error event logs regarding compatibility might appear. These messages may be ignored during the installation. Install Service Pack 1 after this installation is complete. Service Pack 1 can be downloaded from http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=4833.

2)Click Continue. When Setup completes the installation of ISA Server, you receive the following message in the notification area:

Devices or applications disabled
'ISA 2000' will cause Windows to become unstable. Windows has prevented these drivers from loading. Click here for more details.

3)When Setup is complete, you receive the following message:

Setup has failed to start one or more services. Please examine the event log for more details.

Do you need help?

4)Download and install ISA Server SP1. After you install SP1, you must restart the ISA Server computer.

5)After the computer restarts, download and install the ISA Server 2000 Required Updates for Windows Server 2003 package. To obtain this update, view the "ISA Server 2000 Required Updates for Windows Server 2003" section of this article.

The article also suggests that you do this installation with the computer in question DETACHED from the internet - I also suggest you do this - so download ALL of the files you will need first - ie - patch 2003, download ISA, ISA SP1, and ISAserver2000 Updates for windows server 2003 - which is a package linked to above.

Read the article ;) Its a cakewalk compared to making exchange RPC run on a single port (which is also not too difficult) and I expect it will work as planned - but someone else might suggest otherwise.

Now on a side note - are you using this as a proxy, firewall, or what? Im interested in seeing what use for ISA the community has "approved" as im going to be in need of a proxy soon, and was considering using Squid... but that wont wash with my microcentric management.

Subject: ISA Server and Win2k3 standard OS

Hello all,

I have been tasked with researching a test implementation of Microsoft's Firewall/Proxy, Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server, on Windows
2003 (Win2k3) standard server. Although Win2k3 has several wizards available to enable services for specific applications, i.e. Web server, file server, print server, dns server, etc...I don't find a wizard to prep
it for an installation of ISA. Has anyone had any experience installing and
configuring ISA on Win2k3 or does anyone have any resource suggestions for
me?

Do you need more help?
