What I do in this scenario, is get a hold of a spare machine, build it
as the ISA2k4 box, give it the same IP addresses as the old box and set
it up. If all goes well then I export all the rules and import them to
the box that will be the real ISA server. If there are issues then it's
just a matter of connecting the old isa box back to the network.

Subject: [isalist] Dual Boot or Not?
http://www.ISAserver.org
I have been running ISA2004 in a Virtual Server session, and I am now
ready to upgrade our ISA2000 machine. Since I am not an expert at this,
I want to have the option to go back to ISA2000 temporarily if things
don't go well(!). My first thought was to simply yank the hard drive
from the ISA2000 machine and install a new one. I can start installing
2004 and if I have to stop for a while, then I can just remove the new
drive and put the old one back in.
It occurred to me that it might make sense to install the new drive in
addition to the old one and then set up a dual boot. This would allow
me to boot to a Windows 2003 instance running ISA2004 or boot to the
original Windows 2000 instance running ISA2000. This might be somewhat
easier than moving hard drives. However, I have never installed a dual
boot scenario, so I don't know what kinds of issues I might run into.
My ultimate goal is to run only ISA2004 on this machine and remove
ISA2000, so I don't want to do anything that would make this difficult
later on.
Any ideas on how to make this as easy as possible?
Thanks.
