Before installing ISA Server 2004, familiarize yourself by reading the Release Notes and Getting Started Guide located on the installation media.

Insert the ISA Server 2004 CD and click Install ISA Server 2004 on the Microsoft ISA Server 2004 Setup page shown in Figure 2-1.

Note
If Autorun is disabled, double-click the file Isaautorun.exe to launch the ISA Server 2004 Setup program.

On the License Agreement page, read the End User License Agreement (EULA), select I Accept The Terms In The License Agreement, and then click Next.

Note
The ISA Server 2004 software is installed on the C drive by default.
On the Internal Network page, click Add.
Specify the address ranges for your internal network. You can add the addresses manually or click Select Network Adapter, where you can choose to define the internal network addresses based on private network addresses or your Windows Routing Table as illustrated in Figure 2-2.

This option allows you to continue using the ISA Server 2000 firewall client software as you migrate to ISA Server 2004. You should discontinue allowing backward compatibility once you have upgraded, as the ISA Server 2004 firewall client allows for encrypted communications.
