Amy,

My logic for is like this:
  1) to kick off soho type of router because its limitation
     to host Internet connection both performance & control.
     Enterperise router is available but believe it is not
     essential
  2) ISA box is a replacement to the router, but ISA and DC
     must be seperated in different box for security conern
If I maintain hosting internet traffic by router, obvious
I can put only one server to serve as DC/ISA in one box!

Anyway, thanks for your comment.

Roy Tsao

You can still make ISA a DC while having it on its own box. You
mentioned kicking out a router - I'm not exactly sure what that means
but I would take it to mean that you have a piece of hardware that
ISA server is going to replace. Rather than replace it I would put
that router/firewall in front of ISA to take off some of load from
ISA. Since you are going to run other apps on the ISA server it makes
sense to reduce the traffic that is going to be hitting it. This will
also gain you back some of the security compromise that you are
making when you put other apps on the ISA server.

Amy,

Your suggestion "put ISA on one box, Windows 2003 with VMware and the
guest servers on this box" can't fit the requirement to put ISA box
join the DC, ISA box needs to be a domain memember for traffic
control!

The VMware license cost is one additional cost, but the cost of the
additional server licenses vs. SBS is still quite significant.

If the main concern is to minimize physical servers and maximize
security then put ISA on one box, Windows 2003 with VMware and the
guest
servers on this box.

What I am trying to do is to minimized cost of taking
addtional units of physical servers while both security
and function shall not be compromised. For SBS, it is
of course a 1st option but in our envirnoment, we need
more function more than SBS, that's why I want to uprise
such a solution VS SBS.
As for license charge, I merely regards the Vitual server
as actual one, it means we must pay for it for any server
need to install, and then disgard comparision of charge
with SBS.

Thanks,

Roy Tsao

I think that it is a good idea but it is a whole lot more expensive
than
1 SBS Premium license at $1,450. How deep are your pockets? Is the
extra
cost worth it, in terms of function or security? These are the
questions
yet to be answered.

In my past post, I want to implement a more wider service
Like ISA/SQL/DC etc. on one phsical server. For security
Concern, so far the recommendation from ISAServer forum
Is to use SBS. However we could have one more idea by utilizing
Vmware GSX server like below for my network:
  - Host OS: Windows Server 2003 (two NICs)
             External NIC: any but no DG IP
             Internal NIC: 192.168.0.2/255.255.255.0
  - two Guest Server (Through Vmware GSX):
             1) Windows Server 2003 running as DC (one vitual NIC)
                IP: 192.168.0.3/255.255.255.0
                (bridged to Host Internal NIC)

             2) Windows Server 2003 running as ISA2K4 (one vitual
NIC)
                IP: 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0
                (bridged to Host Internal NIC)
  Network frame:
    Wan connection: ADSL PPOE connection through Guest Server 2)
                    Host Server and other Lan PC's connection to
                    Wan through Gateway 192.168.0.1 like a physical
                    ISA2K4 Box

    Lan connection: Guest Server 1) as DC/DNS/DHCP server

    Firewall protectiont o Host Server from External NIC:
      enable firewall protection, close up all communication port
through
      TCP/IP

Dear Jim and other cool guys, is that a good idea suppose the host
server
Has engouth CPU capacity and RAM?

Thanks for your suggestion in advance!
