You do NOT need IIS to serve error pages. All you need are HTML files. S -----Original Message----- From: Nelson Gil [mailto:ngil@xxxxxxxx] Posted At: Wednesday, November 03, 2004 5:24 AM Posted To: Isa Server Conversation: [isalist] RE: WPAD.DAT file Subject: [isalist] RE: WPAD.DAT file http://www.ISAserver.org Hello Jim Harrison, A. The reason for running IIS on the ISA server is just to give a HTML message to the users when they go to sites they are not supposed to. We want to keep everything related to the INTRA/Internet "access" on the ISA server. All our IE browsers are configured with Automatic Detect settings and currently we have LINUX proxies that have that WPAD.DAT file. As a test we configured the second option: Use automatic configuration script on the connections tab of the IE browser like so: http://proxyisa/wpad.dat and it works! But my only doubt is when I browse the http://linuxproxy/wpad.dat it shows the contents correctly on the IIS it shows me variables. Only by mapping a drive and viewing it through notepad. We configured the ISA server so that in the future we are going to change on our DNS/DHCP system to point to the wpad.dat file on the ISA server that of course is running the IIS. From what I've been told the wpad.dat file has to be in the wwwroot of an IIS. ------------------------------------------------------ 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: isalist@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This E-Mail is confidential.
