The key is to preconfigure information that will be global for all ISA
servers and arrays within an organization. The ISA admin console, a default installation
option on a CSS server, is used in this capacity, and can be run even before official ISA
servers are installed. The console, shown in Figure 6.6, is slightly different than the
Standard Edition console. Several Enterprise options have been added.

Although it is possible to wait to configure the options in the console until the servers are
installed, it is often preferable to preconfigure them.
Delegating Administration of ISA
The first step that should be performed after the CSS Enterprise has been established is the
delegation of administration to individual users or, preferably, groups of users. To delegate
administration to a group, for example, perform the following steps:
1. On the server where CSS was installed, start the ISA Server 2006 Enterprise Admin
Console (Start, All Programs, Microsoft ISA Server, ISA Server Management).
