RE: ISA2004 post upgrade cleanout

Thanks Jerry,
.... did that.. deleted all rules but last one the ran CEICW again. I had to
run it 3 or 4 times before it went through the firewall cleanly. All OK now.
It was just that after upgrading, loads of rules (50ish) were created from
the ISA2000 settings I'd customised.
I certainly prefer ISA2004.

Cheers,
Simon.
