[isalist] ISA SP2 - IssuesThank 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.

      http://www.ISAserver.org

      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?
