Okay wait a second, This thread may not be totally clear, so I need to ask once more... I am not concerned about the actual upgrade process, or having the actual install of 2004 recognize my existing setup, in order to migrate my settings. I was planning on starting from scratch anyway, by redoing the server whenever I got there, and they would be down during that time. I just need to know, if I can have a ISA 2004 Server running in one location, and have it accept a Remote VPN connection from an ISA 2000 Server on the remote end - That's ALL. Is this possible? Or do BOTH ends have to be running the SAME version of ISA Server, in order to successfully connect with each other? I figure if it's either PPTP or L2TP - ISA shouldn't care what is on the other end, as long as it's Microsoft based, and they speak the same lingo. So now that I reworded it, will this work?

Wow that really stinks - now I am really in a quandary, as to how I'm supposed to magically fly out to Texas and Illinois, and somehow be in Wisconsin all at the same time, while I simultaneously upgrade all the old ISA servers to the new. And this is all because of that damn site-to-site VPN bug that was present a few months back, before it got fixed in SP1 recently. Yes I know I could have called support back then (after finding out WAY after the fact) but I simply burned too much of everybody's schedule at that juncture in time - and they all demanded I go back to the original configuration. Can't say that I blame them... So you are all positive, that I can't setup a new ISA 2004 Server in Wisconsin, and somehow have my 2 satellite locations running ISA 2000, connect to it using site-to-site VPN Connections in the interim? Sorry if it sounds like I'm complaining, it's just all that lost time I will never get back and it makes me sick when stuff like this happens. Thank you all for your wonderful advice as always...

I eventually want to convert all those sites to ISA 2004 - but the question is, do I have to perform all of the upgrades at the exact same time, in order to keep connectivity going? Or, can I upgrade the primary site (which dials both remote sites) to ISA 2004, and still have it successfully connect to the ISA 2000 remote servers? Then travel to each of the remaining sites when I get time, to perform the final upgrades. Thanks in advance for any information, Mike ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server FAQ: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 Exchange Server Resource Site: http://www.msexchange.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: jim@xxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx All mail to and from this domain is GFI-scanned. ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server FAQ: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 Exchange Server Resource Site: http://www.msexchange.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server FAQ: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 Exchange Server Resource Site: http://www.msexchange.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: jim@xxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx All mail to and from this domain is GFI-scanned. ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server FAQ: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 Exchange Server Resource Site: http://www.msexchange.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
