ISA always has and for the foreseeable future, will continue to use RRAS for VPN functionality. Why reinvent a perfectly good wheel? You don't say if the original or upgrade is Std or Ent Edition...? I'll make a *large* difference in your migration ISA 2000 Std - ISA 2004 Std == supported ISA 2000 Std - ISA 2004 Ent == supported ISA 2000 Ent - ISA 2004 Std == **unsupported** ISA 2000 Ent - ISA 2004 Ent == supported In general, do this: - bring Win2000 to SP4, latest patches, etc - Make sure it all still works! - bring ISA 2000 to SP2, latest patches, etc. - Make sure it all still works! - upgrade to Win2k3 - Make sure it all still works! - install Win2k3 Sp1, latest patches, etc. - Make sure it all still works! - install ISA 2004 - Make sure it all still works! ** if using ISA 2004 SE, install ISA 2004 SP1 - Make sure it all still works! ..didja notice a pattern in there somewhere? -------------------------------------------- Jim Harrison MCP(NT4, W2K), A+, Network+, PCG http://isaserver.org/Jim_Harrison/ http://isatools.org Read the help / books / articles! -------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: MJ [mailto:mjtech@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, January 30, 2006 4:45 AM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] Upgrading ISA 2000 to 2004 http://www.ISAserver.org Good morning all I am getting ready to upgrade ISA 2000 that is running on windows 2000 server. I've been searching and found few articles, but I need an advice from real life experienced experts who go through the same thing a lot. This ISA 2000 is mostly used for VPN, and I noticed that it's running RRAS. As far as I know ISA 2004 doesn't need RRAS to be a VPN Server (Is that true?). Also I am going to upgrade windows server 2000 to 2003, so which one will I upgrade first ISA or Windows? I would appreciate any information, advices, or comments. Thanks in advance and happy Monday :) ------------------------------------------------------ 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 ------------------------------------------------------ Visit TechGenix.com for more information about our other sites: http://www.techgenix.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.
