 Kevin sounds goods in telling you how to cr..k.
If my understanding is corret, you are going to install on a freed server:
   OS: as part from SBS
   ISA2K4: seperately licensed one
The answer must be negative logically!

    I REALLY don't like to think about creating a single point of failure 
anywhere,especially on my side of the Demarc. I get violent without access. I 
would save your  soon to be freed SBS machine for other applications that don't 
require GPO control. 
  1.Thought about acquiring a few Eval copies of w2kAdv.Server and setting the 
Bios clock CORRECTLY on install? ...this of course on recycled equipment that 
is capable of carrying a server to begin with.You need DNS ,Netbios on your 
internal NIC,{turn it and filesharing OFF on the External NIC},Include your 
External NIC after install ! in your LAT>turn everything else OFF,then install 
retail or Eval ISA2000/2004 on each.
  2.Check out Amazon.com where and individual is selling Standard ISA2004{OEM} 
for $150 delivered. No arrays but at least you can have some functional {junk} 
fail over standing by WHEN ,NOT IF,your ISA hardware fails. AS in ,all hardware 
will fail and it's seldom at a convenient time.
  3.I assume you do realize the pitfalls of running ISA and anything else on 
the same server so I won't bother to ramble on..........as in a Firewall needs 
to be a FIREWALL,not a glorified attempt at client side applications running in 
the background.
  4. Your much better off,creating a seperate  "ISA "  new forest domain for 
your ISA to run in as it will be the first compromised { in theory but not in 
reality to my knowledge historically};Hence,the intruder will have to "start 
all over" after compromising  ISA which he probably thinks was/is your 
web,exchange,etc. server.This gives you time to deploy your stand by {junk } 
ISA machines for him to "get around"....as in where does your network begin and 
end !!?!?
  5.Surely, you won't install ISA as an Enterprise Admin{not an issue with 
Standard version or stand alone install }as the compromise of that account nets 
the entire forest{theoretically}.

    Thanks Kevin, 

     

    Your response to this thread has been the most intelligent one so far. Too 
bad Roy and Steve don't know the meaning of that. ;)

     

    This company has two servers running SBS, their main one is running AD 
while the other handles some old application crap which will get changed over 
soon freeing up the server. Yeah we have the standard version of SBS; the one 
which comes with Exchange and all the extra stuff on it. The main server also 
runs Exchange 2003, other than that nothing else is really going on. 

     

    There is no copy of ISA 2004 installed YET. I am just weighing in the 
possibility of installing it on the hardware they currently have available.

     

    So what are my choices here Kevin? 

     

    Thanks

    Andrew

      Best of my knowledge;

    1.SBS products don't join existing domains,period = stand alone domain{s} 
only.

    2.I assume you have a standard version of SBS = no native ISA or 
SQL.Hence,why was a copy of ISA2004 on it?...either way?

    3. Installing on multiple machines will kill your CD key for both installs 
= No great loss since it's SBS.

    4.Yes,it is a stand alone product.

      If I install ISA 2004 on SBS 2003, can I take a second box install SBS on 
it and join it to the domain (no run dcpromo) making it the ISA 2004 box or 
does ISA have to run with everything else on the one SBS server?
