This said, it is still important to use
best-practice techniques to properly maintain, monitor, and
administer ISA Server. Fortunately, administration is secured
and simplified in ISA Server 2006, allowing for the use of
predefined admin roles, customized ISA console access, and
wizards that simplify common tasks.
This chapter focuses on defining the role of the ISA administrator
and outlining the particular tools that are available
to ease in the administration of ISA itself. Best-practice
approaches to administering the security and rules of an ISA
server are outlined, and step-by-step procedures outlining
particular administrative tasks are detailed.
Defining the Role of the ISA
Administrator
ISA administrators are defined in different ways, depending
on the organization using the product. For smaller environments,
the role of the ISA administrator most often falls
upon those individuals already tasked with general user
administration and server support. Larger organizations
may delegate ISA admin tasks to messaging administrators,
security admins, or network admins, depending on the
factors surrounding the deployment of ISA itself.
