Hi there, The alerter functions are pretty cool really. You can send email from them, run programs to find out what Might have been the issue and with vbscript or javascript you can grab up the environment variables to Help you determine what the offending ip address was that bugging your system. If anyone would Like a few custom alerter vbscripts please let me know. Thank you, Joseph -----Original Message----- From: G.

Any pointers on 'best practices' for alerts etc on ISA (and the how to's)? thanks ---------------------------- G.

I am just getting my feet wet with trying to monitor security closely and don't mean to sound like a complete idiot. (Oops! To late?) Does this mean someone is purposely scanning my ISA server for holes or could it be something non intentional? Is there really anything that can be done about it? I have already found out who owns that block of ip addresses provided the source address is not being spoofed. Does Tom's book cover questions about what the different log messages mean? Thanks!
