Hi Ole,

Please see
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/isa/2004/deploy/dgisaserver.mspx
for Deployment Guidelines for ISA Server 2004 Enterprise Edition.
Specifically, read the Configuration Storage Server Deployment Guidelines
section.

ISA Configuration Storage server (CSS) is implemented using Active Directory
Application Mode (ADAM) which may run side by side and independently with
Active Directory on a domain controller. You may choose to install ISA CSS
on domain controller(s) rather than on dedicated server(s) to conserve
hardware. Installing the CSS on a domain controller doesn't automatically
replicate to other domain controllers. On the other hand, you also don't
have to install the CSS manually on all domain controllers. The choice
should be based on your network topology.
