internal domain.

If ISA is its own workgroup, then it simply acts as a firewall like any
other.

But if ISA is a member server in a domain, you can take full advantage
of AD and groups in your rules. Example, the guests group could be
denied access while the power users group could only access during lunch
and break time and administrators could be unrestricted.

Being a member of a domain allows you to use all the features and be
very granular on policies using AD.

I have a huge question about installing ISA that I can't seem to get a
definiative answer to one way or another. The ISA server I have
installed
at a client site is on a stand-alone server but is a member server of
the
Domain. Does this ISA have to be a emeber of the domain or can I just
have
it in it's own workgroup like you would a Checkpoint firewall. Is there
a
reason it has to be in the domain. This seems inherently riskyas if it's
comprimised, you may have comprised your entire domain. This of course
is
the reason why you would usually make firewall's member of their own
little workgroup and not a member of the domain.

Please any help on this would be appreciated.
