In addition, ISA reports can be automatically generated on a defined basis and saved
to a remote network location for viewing by other administrators and for archive purposes.
Verifying Connectivity
Connectivity verifiers in the Monitoring node of the ISA Console are mechanisms that
allow administrators to perform simple monitoring on network services and functionality.
They make it possible to monitor certain servers and sites via an up/down services analysis.
For example, a DNS Verifier might send DNS queries to the local DNS server to ensure
that it is operational. If the verifier fails to contact the service, an alert is generated.
ISA Server 2006 organizes various connectivity verifiers into different group types, which
can be chosen when running the New Connectivity Verifier Wizard, as shown in Figure
3.23. These group types are then displayed on the Dashboard, which allows for quick
up/down status on services within the network. The default group types are listed as follows:
