Re: SBS 2003 Premium and ISA 2004

Hi TR,

Just to clarify - these are consultants employed by your company rather than
'external' consultants, right? If so, I assume that either the company
provides their laptops or at the very least retains 'control' over the
laptops they themselves have?

*Anything* that connects to your company network should be controlled by
you. That goes for AntiVirus protection, group policy settings, whatever.
Such machines should be set-up on your LAN initially then configured for
remote usage. Therefore it shouldn't necessarily be an unacceptable risk
factor connecting such machines to your internal LAN when they are on-site.
It follows then that in an SBS Premium environment that they should indeed
have the ISA client installed on them [which with ISA 2004 is clever enough
to self-detect whether the client is connected to the ISA Server and disable
itself if not]. Such machines would simply be connected on the LAN side as
per your fixed desktops and would work fine.

If these are however the machines [personal or not] of 'external'
consultants, they have no place whatsoever on your internal business network
IMHO. The correct place for these machines is connected to the Router for
Internet access [remember that in a 2 NIC ISA scenario the Router can be
used as a DHCP Server also for such external machines]

HTH,


David

If you are happy with the security risks then you can open ISA managment,
Firewall Policy, and change SBS internet Access policy from SBS Internet
Users to ALL users.

That should let it work, however I have always used a 2 Nic setup with
any ISA configuration so there maybe something I am not expecting.


Good luck

Not an easy task without segmenting the network. Any suggestions?

If you have ISA, you're using two NICs. Are you not using a
modem/router
for Internet connection?
