Re: Installing ISA Server for first time

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hello Mike,

Thank you for kind update.

The ISA server 2004 is a security product. It will help you to improve
system and network safety factor. After you install the ISA 2004 on your
SBS server, the SBS and your internal network will safer than before.
Therefore, the NAT before ISA is not indispensable.

Of course, add a NAT router or firewall before SBS will further improve
your SBS and internal network safety factor. If you decide to do that,
please ensure you have correct configure your router forward necessary TCP
ports to SBS. For example: 25 (SMTP), 1723 (VPN), 4125 (RWW), 443 (SSL),
444 (sharepoint SSL), 80 (HTTP), 3389 (RDP) etc, it is depend on the
services running on SBS. Please contact your router vendor to confirm the
detail steps to configure NAT and port forwarding.

If you plan to add NAT before SBS, you'd better install ISA 2004 after you
finish the configuration of the router and ensure your network work fine.

Hope these steps will give you some help.

Thanks and have a nice day!

Best regards,

Terence Liu(MSFT)

| While I familiarize myself with the steps you have put down, Terrence,
| let me ask a question:
|
| I mentioned that my router is passing the WAN IP through to the server.
| So, the WAN-facing NIC in the server has a public IP. This has appeared
| to be fine so far. I do see some attempts from outsiders to try to
| access Exchange Server but they don't seem heavy and as far as I know no
| one has succeeded.
|
| Nevertheless, do I want to consider NAT somewhere ahead of the server?
| If so, do I want to do that before installing ISA Server 2003?
