434 CHAPTER 16 Administering an ISA Server 2006 Environment
Understanding Who Administers the ISA Environment
The fact that ISA can fit into so many roles is a tribute to the diverse range of functionality
that the server possesses. For example, the following roles are affected in one way or
another with an ISA server:
. Network Administrator??”Network administrators are in charge of shaping network
traffic and routing it to proper destinations. Because ISA can act as a router, and is
often deployed in that capacity to secure an isolated server or network segment, it
often falls upon the network admin??™s shoulders to understand and potentially
administer portions of ISA functionality.
. Messaging Administrator??”Because ISA is so often deployed specifically to secure
messaging solutions, particularly Exchange solutions such as Outlook Web Access,
the role of administering ISA is often undertaken, at least in part, by messaging
administrators.
. Security/Firewall Administrator??”Firewall administrators will be most familiar with
ISA itself. ISA uses the familiar concept of firewall rules, security concepts, and the
look and feel of the console itself.
