Re: 2 NIC to 1 Best Practice ?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I recently moved from 2 NIC's to 1 and it was suggested that I first remove
the IP of the extenral NIC before I disabled it. I believe I also had to
change the gateway of the remaining SBS NIC to point to the internal NIC of
the edge fireall.

Hi all,

I need to uninstall ISA 2004 from a client's SBS 2003 box and install a
hardware firewall instead (they now require IPSec VPN). Is there a 'Best
Practice' for doing this ? My plan is to backup, uninstall ISA (which will
presumable take SP3 with it ?), reboot if required, disable the external
NIC,
re-run the CEICW and then implement the hardware firewall. This will all
be
done off line until the F/W is installed. Can anyone see anything I've
missed
here ? TIA.

Regards Colin.
