The ISA Server Sustained Engineering Team is excited to announce the
version 5.0 release of the Microsoft(c) ISA Server Best Practices
Analyzer Tool (IsaBPA V5).
New in Version 5 of IsaBPA:
- ISA Data Packager (IDP) GUI - The IDP collects all information needed
for troubleshooting with a single click, hence reducing support cost and
increasing customer satisfaction.
- BPA2Visio - we added a super cool application that takes the IsaBPA
report and converts this report into a Visio network diagram, so that
the ISA administrator and the support engineer can see how the ISA
Server views its environment (networks, published web/non-web
servers/server farms, CSS, VPN sites and clients). You need to have
Visio 2003 or Visio 2007 installed on one of your machines (not
necessary the ISA Server machine
- We added new checks to Version 5. There are now 218 rules, and more
than 900 settings are displayed. The focus of this release was to target
Windows Server SP2 issues. This new suite joins the Hardware,
Authentication, OWA, SSL Certificates, Site-to-site VPN with IPsec,
WPLB, Branch Office, and logging suites that were introduced in previous
IsaBPA versions.
- More documentation. The UE team enhanced the Help file. It now
contains more than 100 pages. You can now find which checks are being
performed, how to operate the IsaBPA, and of course how to fix the found
issues.
- Bug fixes. We fixed a few bugs that were discovered in the previous
version.
You can get the IsaBPAv5 using the integrated live update mechanism or
