A1: If you use the Add/Remove programs wizard and choose "Change" for the ISA entry, you can change the ISA operating mode between Firewall, Integrated and Cache all day long and not lose any (applicable) settings. "Applicable" means that if you remove firewall functionality, all your server publishing and packet filtering settings go <poof>. A2: if you un/reinstall standalone ISA, then yes; all your settings go <poof>. Whether you lose Array settings is determined by whether or not there are any server in the array. There is a script that will save your settings to a script that will re-import them to your new installation. It's not written by me, but I've used it a time or two and it works fairly well. It's not perfect, but it hasn't choked my ISA yet. Oh, look; it's attached... ;-) Jim Harrison MCP(2K), A+, Network+, PCG ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark Strangways To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Sent: Sunday, September 09, 2001 6:34 PM Subject: [isalist] re-install http://www.ISAserver.org A quick easy question, I think I know what the answer will be but I don't like it so I'm hoping I'm wrong. here goes, I want to re-install so I can add the download cache. It seems to be the only way to do this. If I reinstall will it change all my settings back to defaults...? If it does , can I restore from my firewall only backup ? What I think .. first question ... yes second ..... no Anyone know for sure ?
