This is a painful question for me to hear. In an ideal firewall security environment, you would never use the Web browser on the firewall. However, I work through my pain in this article and show you how to run IE on the ISA firewall itself.

Magalhaes Summary: In this tutorial I will show you how to open ISA up so that MSN can pass through it and so that you can communicate with other MSN clients on the internet.

Magalhaes Summary: In this tutorial I will highlight the advantages of having automatic configuration of your ISA web proxy and firewall clients.

In addition to performing the basic task of stateful filtering (which even a simple ‘hardware’ firewall can do), the ISA firewall’s strong application layer inspection feature set allows the ISA firewall to actually understand the protocols passing though the firewall. In contrast to traditional second generation hardware firewalls, the ISA firewall represents a third generation firewall that is not only network aware, but application protocol aware. This article shows you how to leverage the ISA firewalls stateful application layer inspection by using an automated approach to populating Domain Name Sets and URL Sets using scripts.

This is a great question because you can now create multiple directly attached perimeter networks and allow controlled access to and from those perimeter networks. You can now safely put domain member machines on these DMZ segments to support a variety of new scenarios, such as dedicated network services segments that enforce domain segmentation. This article shows you have to create an Access Rule that allows the required protocols through the ISA firewall.
