Do it any way you like. The nice thing is, if you don't do it my way, we
all get to point and laugh when things go wrong :)

        This question goes to everyone on this list and especailly to
Dr. Thomas W. Shinder.
         
        I am about to install ISA Server 2004 on a Windows Server 2003.
As a best practice (according to Microsoft) one has to install all
service packs and security updates on the Windows Server 2003 before
installing ISA Server 2004. 
         
        I was reading Dr. Thomas Shinder's article dated August 16th,
2005 and entitled " Using the Windows Server 2003 Security Configuration
Wizard to Harden the ISA Firewall" and he made a "Note" in this article
saying "Make sure that ISA Server 2004 Service Pack 1 is installed on
the ISA firewall before installing Windows Server 2003 SP1". 
         
        I am a little bit confused as to how to go about the
installation of ISA Server 2004. If I go ahead and follow Microsoft best
practice, that means that after the installation of Windows Server 2003
on a new server, I have to install SP1 and any updates that came after
SP1 for Windows Server 2003 before I go ahead and install ISA Server
2004 and the SP1 for ISA Server 2004. If I go ahead and follow what Dr.
Shinder is saying in his article, that means after the installation of
Windows Server 2003 on a new computer, I have to go ahead and install
ISA Server 2004 and its SP1 before I install SP1 for Windows Server
2004.  I need help here as to which way to go first. Thank you all.
         
        Tony
