Re: ISA 2004 unmanageable

Sorry; loss of the only remaining CSS is cause for a complete nuke & pave.
The copy of the policies used locally cannot be reverse-engineered to the
format used in CSS because the concept of Enterprise vs. Array-level rules
and rule elements is lost.

Also, you're running the release version of ISA 2004; you should be using at
least SP3 by now.

I have an ISA 2004 Enterprise Server (4.0.3439.50) installed on a Windows
Server 2003 SP2 with remote Configuration Storage Server.

CSS got blown away on remote server and is unrecoverable, but ISA is still
functioning correctly. I need to regain management of the ISA Server to add
some rules for new applications but I cannot. The Server does not show up
under Arrays in ISA Admin.

Is there a way to add an existing array to the new CSS? If so, how do I
point the existing ISA Server to the CSS and get its settings into the CSS?
I don't want to lose the existing config on the ISA Server that is
functioning correctly.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
