Tell them then that they need to undertsand how it actually works. Some
basic understanding of protocols and what you are actually trying to
achieve goes a long way. I'm staggered at the amount of 'network
guys" who can (isa aside) create an "allow all" rule
and get it working. You need to sit down and plan out your
firewall rules based on the traffic you need to pass, or block,
before you install the firewall.  

Unless they have
configured it wrong ISA wont be your problem The firewall service is
required to be running so disabling it is NOT your answer, repeat NOT.
