Thanks Tom BTW I notice a spelling mistake in the security checklist part 2 on the website. Not to be too picky, but I believe its in the third paragraph. evening - shouldn't that be even. Silly but I thought you might like to know Note: Before evening getting into the specifics of ISA Server configuration, you should always install the latest hotfixes for both Win2k and ISA Server. At the time of writing this article, MS has released a Security Hotfix Rollup that updates the operating system with all the currently available hotfixes since SP2. You should also install the ISA Server SP1. Greg Mulholland
