In my experience, changing the computer IPs does not cause too many problems,
however, changing the computer name and domain causes quite disaterous
results...
I will be honest - I DID manage to get ISA working after changing the computer
name and domain several times. However, I only managed that by hacking around
with registry, files and vbscripts and some of the features do not even work
anymore (reporting, arrays..)
So I do not reccomend it for production. (I use my ISA for development so I
only need certain sections of it to work - and those are the ones I fixed
manually.)
It would be very nice for ISA server to be able to work when certain
configurations change. I think that MS give very limited support for this.

Kind folks of the list...
Back when we were testing ISA server originally (Back at RC1), we had set up
an ISA server and subsequently wanted to rename it after installation and
set up... At that point, Microsoft said that ISA server did not support
renaming of a server after ISA setup, and in fact ISA server refused to run
if we did so...
Does anyone know if Microsoft has fixed the 'problem'? The reason is
this... We've purchased two new, identical machines on which to run ISA
server (to replace our older, upgraded Proxy 2.0 machines)... I've already
got one set up and functioning and would like to clone that installation
onto the second machine instead of having to manually configure Win2K, ISA
server, DNS, etc again... Then change the name, IP addresses, etc and be on
my way... At least it would save me a few hours work... Anyone done this
with ISA server?
Thanks in advance!
