Hi Amy, not sure if it might be the issue, but did you change the server name in Configuration -> Networks -> Internal -> (Properties) -> Firewall Client? In general it should not be a problem to restore the backup into a new server with a different name. As far as I can remember, I've done it two or three times.

Although it seems to be working except for one nagging issue. I restored an ISA server firewall policy onto a server with a different name than the original. The nagging issue is that the firewall client won’t connect to it, even if you manually put in the name of the server it can’t find it. Uninstalling the firewall client from the PC and reinstalling it didn’t change anything. BTW, there must be a reference to the old server someplace because the firewall client populates itself with the old server name. Seems like uninstalling it from the PC doesn’t clear out the information. What I need is to find out why the firewall client can’t connect to the server. Where should I begin to look for the references to the old server? Thanks, Amy ExchangeDefender Message Security: Check Authenticity
