Our ISA server had built in NICS. I used the cool feature of W2K to disable
a NIC without having to remove it. But, seriously, I think ISA is solid
product. One of our four ISA boxes is an old 500 Mhz AMD with a 20 Gig SCSI
disk and 320 Mb Ram. Originally built as a test machine we just started
using it as a production server for Central Office having about 100 users.
Even with this "commodity" hardware the performance is fine and the downtime
has been nonexistent.

Personally i find Network cards in an iSA box a real pain in the bum. I try
to leave them out if i can or at least disable them.

HI Mike,
Earlier once i had the same problem of rebooting. But believe me it
was a hardware fault in ISA box. I am sure that u need to check ur hardware
( mostly Memory chips, try disabling and enabling N/w cards). ISA is just
fine and a true corporate firewall. Just chk ur hardware it should be fine.

Hello,
This is really getting on my nerves in a major way.
About 2-3 times per day (sometimes more), our ISA Box reboots - and all the
Event Viewer can tell us, is that the "System Shutdown Unexpectedly" (well
no duh) - and there is nothing else of any value whatsoever, that tells us
what it may have been.
This is totally unacceptable - and I need to get to the bottom of it.
Honestly - I've installed about 6 ISA Boxes - in several different corporate
environments - and I am quickly losing confidence in ISA Server - as it just
does not run like a true corporate firewall should. In every case, we
install the software in a Windows 2000 domain environment, on ultra-quality
Servers, SP1 & FP1, Windows 2000 SPx (the latest), etc. We are always
patched with the latest software upgrades, and I own every ISA Book written
(so needless to say, I do my homework). What could this be?
ISA Server may be wonderful - but it's only as good as the Machine, and
Operating System that it runs on top of. Maybe it's time to purchase an
Internet Appliance for this mission critical task - as I can't bank my life
on something that is unreliable.
Is ISA Server truly a corporate solution??? Are all of you having good luck
in general with the Software?
I searched the Infobase on MS's site - and it comes back with NOTHING
regarding random reboots, and other such topics. Is there anything I can
check, that can narrow down why this is happening to us? Is it an attack
potentially?
I would appreciate any information that could help us out.
Thanks,
Mike
