Hi all, Am i correct in thinking that *typically* to build an offline spare for an ISA 2004 Standard Edition the following should work: 1) Have ISA installed onto spare offline machine, with latest backup file from production ISA imported. 2) In event that production ISA experiences failure (hardware, etc.), swap Ethernet cables from production ISA to offline spare, ensure IP addresses on NICs are same on offline spare, NIC order as well(?). 3) Reset Production ISA server Machine Account in domain, join spare ISA to domain with original ISA production server name. Reboot for changes to take effect. 4) Finished!? Would there be other methods/scenarios to consider? Thanks! Edgardo
