Hello All, I finally got 2004! Lots of things are different in the released version. I've studied the object model and Am getting a handle of that. With the new version I'm going to make some major changes with something like this and If I could receive some feedback that would be great. External ISA -->IDS (DMZ) Nothing Else published at this level except for SNORT NIC 1(Incoming) Internal ISA NIC 2 ( sub-net) -->DMZ (SMTP FORWARDER), WEB SERVERS, DNS, <NOTE: I'M thinking of using VPC 2004 to publish outbound cache DNS> NIC 3 ( sub-net) -->Parameter (like the article - Authenticated Exchange, Authenticated STMP forwarder, Authenticated SQL, maybe authenticated WEB Server) Is this where you would place Share point? NIC 4 ( sub-net) -->Internal Network (Exchange, AD, etc) Would it also be a good idea to have layer 3 switches at each NIC? I'm going to work night and day on this for the next 2 days. Have to have VPN and RDP setup by the Time I head out. <grin> Thank you, Joseph
