I extracted the old mspclient folder out of an old ghost image file and
posted it as a share on the new ISA server.

If you contemplate a migration in a large organization, it would make more
sense that the clients be done last to avoid a transition period where they
had no firewall client installed.

When my workstation insisted on access to the old share, it may have been
some problem that had developed on my computer. Often Microsoft
applications keep an uninstall routine stored locally for such occasions.

Thanks for you Reply
