Stay off the yahoo list, it's full of stupidity and morons, apart from 2
or 3 people who frequent this list.
 
This is a good list for SBS ISA questions. Tom, Jim and myself have a
good deal of knowledge of SBS and will share if asked nicely...:))

Thank you for the reply Steve,
 
It appears that most of the folks here are too busy to assist newbies
like myself, they've got more important things to talk about like "how
to waste an hour of your life"...good grief...
 
The message boards don't seem to have many of you advanced folks helping
out much--or maybe just with my basic questions.  I guess I get what I
paid for.  Maybe it's the SBS thing...I feel like a leper.  If it
weren't for SBS I never would have been introduced to ISA Server,
though.
 
Argh, I don't want to rant and alienate the folks here but I'm
frustrated with the lack of responses on basic questions.  I've been
reading, googling and experimenting a lot (ISA, SBS, Exchange) some of
it sticks, some of it doesn't.  Is there a more appropriate website or
board I should use for beginner questions?
 
Again, thank you for your reply, Steve, and apologies for the rant,
 
Anthony

        It can be installed remotely, but ou need to be physically there
to restart the server, or have someone do it for you as it stops
requests on completion.
         
        Yes install it.

        Dr. Thomas,
         
        I was looking to install the upgrade ISA Server 2004 SP2 soon
due to an issue between my Terminal Server (Win2K3 SP1) not
communicating with my SBS Server with regards to Outlook 2003 due to a
known RPC issue.
         
        I am a newbie in regards to ISA.  And SBS.  Though the school of
hard knocks is training me quick ;-)
         
        What is the sequence to delete an existing cache?
         
        Will BITS caching be turned on by default when installing SP2?
         
        What is the sequence to configure BITS caching?
         
        Do you advise installing ISA SP2 in a small network setup (10 -
15 users) ?
         
        I've read a few times here that installing ISA SP2 through
terminal services is not advised.  Maybe it is OK if you hook in with
the /console switch.  What is your take on this issue?
         
        Thanks,
         
        Anthony

                And if you enable BITS caching for anything other than
the MS sites, look forward to extensive crashing of the fw service.

                        Jim out of curiosity, is the delete cache before
install in the release notes?

                        Did you delete the cache file?
                        It may have become corrupted.
                        Also, because of the massive changes in the
cache structure to support BITS content, it's best to delete the cache
before you install SP2.

                        The ISA SP2 features are beneficial yet, it has
caused my Firewall service
                        to crash (3) three times in last two weeks
(since update performed). I have
                        as a result, experienced Cache corruption due to
the system Kill period not
                        being sufficient.
                        
                        Error reporting is in "full effect".
                        
                        What is the remedy, anyone?
