Chapter 2: Examining the ISA Server 2004 Feature Set
ISA 2004 retains many of the same features that administrators know and love from ISA 2000, and, in many cases, has improved on them to make them even more functional and easy to use. For example, enhancements and improvements have been made to Virtual Private Networks (VPN) administration, authentication, firewall rules, Outlook Web Access (OWA) publishing, FTP support, secure Web publishing, cache rules, the SMTP message screener, customization of reports, and more.
ISA 2004 also adds an abundance of new features, such as support for multiple networks, stateful filtering and inspection for VPN traffic, VPN quarantine, firewall user groups, firewall generation of forms used by OWA for forms-based authentication, link translation, and much more.
The graphical user interface (GUI) has been completely reworked for a more intuitive and user-friendly experience.
In this chapter, we provide an overview of ISA 2004's new GUI and discuss old features that have been improved as well as new additions that will make the ISA Server administrator's job easier. We also look at some features present in ISA 2000 that have been removed in ISA 2004, making the product leaner and meaner, and reflecting Microsoft's focus on marketing ISA 2004 first and foremost as a firewall/security product that can compete with top competitors in that market, and then, as a caching/acceleration server, adding value and saving money for organizations that need both functions, but don't want to have to buy two separate products or expensive add-ons for their firewalls.
