Hello

I am running Isa Server 2006 integrated with Websecurity of Websense, and this works very well, Websecurity complements the Isa Server with the rules of filtering by websites, and also provides a service reports very good.

But,

Tip: If you install a trial version of ISA Server 2006 and integrated with the WebSecurity, when you upgrade to official version of the ISA Server, will be obliged to Uninstall the Websecurity to upgrade to Isa.

This is cumbersome because the WebSecurity can not export the configuration, so you will be configured from the outset.

This happened to me, I hope to help you

Regards

Yossue

Subject: AW: ISA as a proxy

Hello there,

we are using ISA 2004 and ISA 2006 as a proxy with strong MIME and URL based filtering

to securley grant web access to several computer classroom installations.

It is robost and secure (almost no vulns and no patching needed).

Three things to mention:

1) isa server needed more hardware-power than i expected upfront.

With a lot of filtering, (AV) scanning and logging (separate server) going on, you'll need to size your servers accordingly.

2) i dont like the ISA Site to Site VPN. There are many other secure VPN solutions out there that are easier to set up.

3) price tag of the enterprise editon. For what?

Hth

Betreff: RE: ISA as a proxy

Greetings,

I am running ISA 2006 as the main firewall and also integrates into ISA

appliances using Branch Office Site-To-Site VPN and it has been great.

A little painful getting the Celestix appliances working for the

site-to-site VPN.

ISA is used to publish multiple SharePoint sites (extranet and internet),

Exchange (webmail, rpc-http, activeSync).

It has been great :)

Kind Regards

Sarbjit Singh Gill

Hello

I have been using ISA 2006 as a web proxy for a year or so. It is used

also as a reverse proxy (web publishing), and so far it's a stable

product without any problems.

It is important to dimension the size of the cache in advance so you

don't have to resize it later. I'm currently using aprox. 30 GB and

it's a fine size for 120 users.

Regards,

Willy
