Hi Jim, Hey, that's an April Fools joke! :-) OK everyone -- all the features I mentioned are an April Fools. ISA Server 2004 has plenty of cool features that aren't an April Fools joke, though. Such as: * Multinetworking -- Firewall policy applied to all interfaces * No more LAT! * Firewall Policy applied to VPN connections -- lock down VPN users tight! * Firewall Policy applied to site to site connections -- neat! * IPSec tunnel mode now supported for site to site connections with third party VPN products * OWA forms-based authenticaton -- generate the form at the firewall -- supports all versions of OWA (5.5, 2000, 2003) * Full support for IPSec passthrough * Full support for publishing ALL PROTOCOLS, not just TCP/UDP -- including PPTP server publishing * Very granular control over HTTP communications through the firewall -- whack applications that try to tunnel through an HTTP connection (Peer to Peer, IM'ers, etc) * Total inspection of Web connections - block sites based on keyword in URL and/or body * Unlimited number of DMZs -- use public or private addressing on the DMZ, you have total control! * No brainer backup and restore to and from XML -- clone your config; easy disaster recovery * Share your configs easily using granular component backups -- cools configs easily shared with the community * New and improved Firewall client --more stable and an *encrypted* connection between the client and server * VPN Quarantine to pre-qualify VPN client configs -- EVEN ON Windows 2000! * Ultra cool real-time monitoring console * Automatically publish scheduled reports to a Web site or File share * Automatically sends you an e-mail when the report is created * Connection limits -- stop worms from attacking others through your network * And lots more...

What you have to do is: 1. back up your ISA configuration with: - isaexportimport.zip tools - isainfo.ex_ 2. use the isaexport.exe tool from the ISA 2004 CD to create a configuration XMl file for ISA 2004 3. download the hard drive imaging tool from www.pebkac.com and use it to create a complete backup of the physical drive where ISA and the OS are installed 4. quit reading this stupid response and enjoy a clean, simple upgrade process :-) Jim Harrison MCP(NT4, W2K), A+, Network+, PCG http://www.microsoft.com/isaserver http://isaserver.org/Jim_Harrison http://isatools.org Read the help, books and articles! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dana J.

When the final version is released, will it be possible to upgrade from 2000 to 2004, or do we need to do a clean install of ISA Server 2004?
