Well, it really doesn't matter the flavor of the webserver ;)
 
The reason is: the firewall is a dedicated-purpose machine. At start we
think "but hey, this machine isn't doing nothing and I could put my
webserver there. The fact is: you would compromise security, thus the
product isn't meant to be used that way.
 
Hosting sites on the same machine that ISA is running is quite
troublesome. I'd recommend against it.
 
You could explain the old chaps that in case the Firewall is
compromised, noone would be able to hack your exchange system, because
it is hosted on another system. ISA is an additional layer of security,
but it is meant to be used in front of your Exchange boxes.

Im aware that OWA doesn't run in Isa and that it runs from the
exchange
box.
One of Directors in a meeting suggested 'can we run OWA on an ISA box'
I
thought it was abad idea but needed some real world opinions as to why
not.
And no I would'nt run IIS on a Checkpoint box would'nt that be Apache?

Ahh... 

How do I put this? 

ISA will host the FBA part of OWA but OWA doesn't run on ISA server
itself, it runs from your Exchange server.

So are you saying its not a good idea to host OWA with IIS install on
an
ISA server? Any specific reasons so I go back to the chaps at the top
who sign the cheques?
The ISA server isnt our main fire wall.

ISA's a firewall. Not a webserver.

Hi All.
Ive been lurking in the background for a bit. So heres my question

Is it possible to run OWA and ISA on the same box? If so is it a good
move?

Thanks

john
