Don't do it.
It's a bad idea.
Never rename a server after you've deployed it. SQL, Exchange, Site Server
all require that the computer name remain the same. There's no reason to
expect ISA to be any different. Would you rename your AD controller?
There's just too much tied into the name to let it be that dynamic.

Subject: [isalist] Renaming an ISA server
http://www.ISAserver.org
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!
