Getting Started with ISA Server 2004
Follow these steps to set up your ISA Server networks and protect the computers in these networks while allowing traffic to flow between them.

Before you begin, read about securing your ISA Server computer.

Select a predefined network template to create your ISA Server network layout and apply default policy rules. Use network rules to specify NAT or route relationships between your ISA Server networks.

View and Create Firewall Policy Rules

Create rules defining how ISA Server allows secure access to Internet sites, corporate e-mail, network servers, services and websites inside and outside your corporate network. Use the system policy editor to define how ISA Server enables the infrastructure necessary to manage network security and connectivity. Read about system policy...

Define How ISA Server Caches Web Content

Define a cache drive and then accelerate Web performance by specifying how Web content is downloaded to the cache and how often objects in the cache are updated.

Configure VPN Access

Enable and configure a secure virtual private network (VPN) for remote client access to the Internal network.

Monitor your ISA Server Networks

Use monitoring options to view current details about your system, to verify connectivity, define alerts and generate reports.
