Best Practices
. When possible, become familiar with the ISA Server Console before becoming
involved in production ISA Server configuration.
. Use the Help tab in the Tasks pane for more information about the specific console
node selected.
. When not in use, park the ISA Server Console on the Dashboard of the Monitoring
node so that you can quickly glance at and see updated real-time ISA status.
. Enable only those options on the ISA server that are absolutely necessary.
. Use the logging mechanism in ISA Server to troubleshoot firewall rule creation.
. Delegate administration based on group membership whenever possible, rather than
on individual users.
