The templates are for the folks who deploy a "typical" ISA and just want
to "do it the easy way".
For those with a semblance of a clue, they're just noise.

So why would you need the templates then if you don't use them until you
already know how to set up the ISA server?  Templates are intended for
quick setups and beginners to make sure you don't miss anything.

I used the templates on my first few test boxes until I learned what
they were doing, and then when I finally set up my production unit I
just chose the template that most closely matched my setup.  Not because
I wanted the pre-made rules it created, but just for the picture, even
though it doesn't even match my layout.

I know, I know, it doesn't really matter, it's just a cosmetic thing...


Just putting my 1.5 cents worth in on design critique.

I actually think that besides the pretty graphic you should not use
the templates until you know how to setup your ISA box.  I took the
advice of others on this list and did not use the templates until I knew
what I wanted to setup and establish! I'm glad that I did not use the
templates.
Took just a short time longer and I learned a ton about rules and
setting up my ISA boxes.

I always thought the template was for initial setup only, not used for
anything other than a pretty graphic once your networks are setup.  

 

Using that line of reasoning, I don't see any reason why you couldn't
use the Single NIC template and then add additional networks
afterwards...  The picture might not match your layout, but who cares?
(Heck, mine shows a three-leg network when I have five!)

 

Actually, this seems like a dangerous feature (to me, anyways) in that
someone could click on a template and promptly wipe out your whole
setup.  Too much happens with only two-three clicks.

Hi Alex,

 

No, but you don't need to use that template. You just need to remove the
addresses used for the intra-array network from the definition of the
default Internal Network.

        Hi Tom:

         

        I'm with you.  But if I am using Single Nic template can I have
2 NIC's on the box?

         

        Alex
