You need to understand your and IM requirements, ISA capabilities and the realities of network protocols. What you've described so far isn't feasible. If you want IM to use the web proxy, then you can't have the VOIP features of IM. If you install ISA in Firewall or Integrated mode on a single-NIC machine, you're going to be severely disappointed. If you don't want to install the Firewall client on the internal hosts, even if ISA is operating in Firewall or Integrated mode on a properly-configured machine, you can't use the extended features of IM.

There should be some other work around too.. Any ideas?

And then if using AD you could assign it to the groups that need to download it and provide that feature in that way. And having the install in the start up script on a one time basis would also work. Easier on the admins that way.
