Chapter 23: ISA Server Installation

Introduction

Installing ISA Server is a relatively simple matter, but you should know what to expect before you run the Installation Wizard. When you are deploying ISA on a production network, it is very important that you have completed and approved your ISA network design before beginning the installation.

Only a few important decisions must be made during the installation. The installation is a software installation; even though a typical Install Shield type of install, this is the part that determines what type of firewall you're setting up on your ISA server. However, you do need to make sure you understand what your ISA server is doing as a firewall, to understand the installation process.
