Or, in other cases, ISA is required for a specific
reason, such as to secure Outlook Web Access (OWA) from the Internet, but the fact that it
can be used for more than this is never realized. It is therefore important to maintain a list
of what types of functionality are necessary in an environment and what ISA features
correspond with this functionality. For example, Table 4.1 depicts several common goals
and objectives and what ISA features correspond to those particular needs.

One of the most difficult parts of deploying a technical solution is managing the project
itself. Often, security solutions, particularly Microsoft security solutions, become part of a
political??”or even an almost religious??”topic for many of the organizations who seek to
deploy them. In addition, care must be taken to manage and control other aspects of ISA
design and deployment. The following are areas of particular note for ISA Server 2006
deployments:
. Defining the project??”It is not enough to simply define what will be deployed, but
rather it is necessary to explain the ???why??? of the project. What critical functionality
does ISA bring into an environment? Why should management shell out the money
necessary to deploy yet another set of servers? Defining and documenting the
project at an early stage can help it get out of the gates early on.
