ISA Server 2004 UNLEASHED [Electronic resources] نسخه متنی

Best Practices

• Use Windows Server 2003 as the ISA Server operating system whenever possible.

• Install Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 to take advantage of the increased security and functionality.

• Install ISA Server 2004 Service Pack 1 for compatibility with Windows Server 2003 SP1 and for enhanced ISA features.

• Use the Security Configuration Wizard to lock down the Windows Server 2003 operating system.

• Install only those ISA Server 2004 and Windows Server 2003 features that are needed.

• Build an ISA Server on a clean installation of the operating system.

• Consider the use of ISA Hardware Solutions and/or third-party add-ons that increase the capabilities of ISA.

• In general, deploy ISA Server 2004 as a workgroup member if it will be deployed in the DMZ of an existing firewall, and deploy it as a domain member if it will be deployed as a full-function firewall.

• If a Firewall Client Installation Share is required, consider installing it on a File Server if possible.
