The ISA Log points to the policy I have setup for
Firewall Clients (which allows HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and MMS)
from a range of IP addresses, to External and the rule
applies to a AD Global Group.

The error the log states is 0x800 and was recorded from
the Web Proxy Filter, the connection was denied (source -
Internal/Destination - External) and the HTTP method was
a "GET" to a URL. It also shows the client username
was "Anonymous".

What else can I provide you with to help troubleshoot
this?

Thanks,

Matt
