Hi Fereydoon, You have two options: 1. Use the upgrade tool that comes with the new ISA firewall (I don't recommend, but it works at least half the time) 2. Document your current firewall rulebase. That is to say, write down the rules in natural language and replicate the configuration on the new ISA firewall. The 2004 ISA firewall works very differently thatn 2000, so I don't recommend just installing it and hoping it works. Its a lot more like Check Point NG than ISA 2000.

Would you please give a little more step by step and details of what to save or back up from my old ISA? I have been away from administering ISA for some time now. I need info like how to save policies, etc... I have an Exchange server behind ISA. What do I need to save from my old ISA?

But I recommend that you inventory your firewall policy and recreate on the new ISA firewall, as the new firewall model is quite different from the 2000 model.

I am going to have new hardware and software, going from Windows 2000 to 2003 also. I have not received any responses yet. Please let me know what I need to save from my old box, as I want to name the new server the same as the old one.
