Hi,
I'm working with a company to put together and test a DR plan. A lot talk
about it and do lip service, but here is one, who wants a tested plan in
place !
Most of the stuff is simple, but we have an issue with one item, the ISA
server.
What is considered the best method to transfer settings from one ISA server
to another.
I've seen first hand the mess created by a backup and restore onto another
ISA server.
The plan current plan is, (subject to change as a result of a brilliant idea
from one of the ISA boffins !) is to copy / export/ backup whatever the
existing settings eg, block lists, firewall rules, vpn settings, network
settings etc, and then have these ready to be loaded onto the DR servers, if
required. What ever is put in place will create a set of files cut to DVD
ready to be used to put the basic server setting like AD, back together,
ready for the restore of the files / exchange / sql / etc.
Any suggestions much appreciated.
